WORKFORCE/WORKPLACE

Terms and conditions of employment: the Working Time (Amendment) Regulations 2009 (Statutory Instrument 2009 No. 1567) (13th August 2009)
The European Working Time Directive is health and safety legislation. The overriding principle is patient safety and high quality care. This is paramount to all that we do in the NHS. The Directive enables a good work / life balance for all NHS staff and in particular junior doctors in training.

A Statutory Instrument was laid in Parliament and lists those services whose derogation has been agreed by the Secretary of State. The amendment to the Working Time Regulations became law on 1 August 2009.
