title: Making sense of your employment contract.
abstract: Whether you work in the NHS or the independent sector you do not need reminding of the changes that are occurring within the delivery of perioperative services, as employers strive to comply with Agenda for Change, the Working Time Regulations and the Modernisation Agenda within the UK. The impact of such change is that you the employee may have to change your shift patterns or take on more responsibilities and extra workload.
