More information

The intention behind this collection was to assess whether junior doctors in training receive notification of:

  • their generic work schedules a minimum of 8 weeks before they start new rotations, and
  • their duty rosters a minimum of 6 weeks before they start new rotations,

as specified in the code of practice agreed by Health Education England, NHS Employers and the British Medical Association.

The data collection was paused in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, then NHS England confirmed that this collection would not resume.
