Junior doctors. Be part of the deal.
A survey of junior doctors in trusts in one English region found the majority did not know whether or not their post met Department of Health requirements on hours and conditions. Most did not know that average hours worked per week should not exceed 56. Most of the acute trusts had groups to implement these New Deal regulations. But almost two-thirds of junior doctors were unaware of these. Ignorance of the New Deal by junior doctors and other NHS personnel could hamper accreditation of trusts.
