Working Time Directive video

With the August deadline approaching for compliance with the Working Time Directive, trusts are required to reduce doctors hours to 48 hours a week.
This video looks at how two trusts have successfully achieved compliance with solutions that promote more efficient and effective ways of working.
Since introducing the initiatives, Guys and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust have reduced mortality rates and serious untoward incidents and NHS North West have reported improved wellbeing of doctors.

Both trusts received support from the Skills for Health Workforce Project Team. You can take part in their interactive Junior Doctors' and EWTD Q&A session on 30th July at 10.30am.
