RUH New Doctors

EWTD and Rota Compliance

The Trust has worked hard to achieve EWTD compliance for training doctors. Details of EWTD can be found within the Working Life Policy & Procedure. It is essential that you work within the parameters of your rota, including start and finish times and that breaks are taken as required by both EWTD and the 2016 Doctors in Training Contract.

It is imperative rotas remain legally compliant and therefore any voluntary swaps of shifts for any reason can only be done with the approval of your clinical lead and must not result in non-compliance. If an exception report is received due to swapped shifts, the swaps will be disregarded and revert back to the contractual duties. This will not apply if the Trust requests the swap.

If you are unable to take your breaks, start early or late or finish early or late, we would encourage you to exception report so that we can address any issues within your rota.

Further information on the 2016 Contract and Exception Reporting is available on the Junior Doctors Information pages on the Trust intranet.
