Working hours for UK doctors | Rota patterns | Types of Leaves | Less than full time work
There is always a discussion and wonder about what the working hours are for doctors in the UK. Will you be expected to commit to crazy hours? What time does a shift start and when can you go home? What are ways you can ensure you go home on time?
What about your allocated leave and general work pattern? Do you get time for holidays and to study? And how about maternity/paternity leave? Or if you want to work less than full time? Dr. Ibreez covers it all in this comprehensive video!

yep I used to work 12 hrs eventhough I had to work just 8 hours in a private hospital because of the shortage of duty doctors ,I did not even get paid for extra hours!!! did not have holidays not even on sunday!! and I could take just 1 half day off in an entire year and I was already getting a frown from the consultant just for that eventhough I loved to work i felt frustrated and felt I was taken for granted

How can i maximize the annual leave days spent at home..i.e Pakistan...9 or 11 days aren't enough as I can only go home once or twice.
I have been doing a shift work as engineer, and must admit a 12hr shift pattern with 4days on, 6 days off, 4 nights on, 4 days off, 3day+3nights on & 4 days off and than restart again. This pattern gives good balance. This eight hour shift pattern is horrible.😮
very informative and interesting edits!

Only yesterday on the news I saw an NHS doctor say she finished her shift at 11pm and had to be back to work the next morning by 7am. There’s no 11 hour gap there between shifts.

There are rules in place to report such incidents and exception report to ensure you stay compliant. We have used them many times to get hours and/or pay back. Failure to do so on part of an individual does not mean there is no recourse.

Sorry, but I can’t fully understand If I finished my shifts in a nhs job which took me up to 48 hours per week , Did I have maximum up to 20 hours per week for work as locum as an img on visa tier 2 ?? That’s mean total working hours per week 68 hours ( 48 hours as maximum hours for main job + 20 hours limit for visa tier 2 )

The 20 hour limit is only if you locum in another hospital (not the one you're employed in).

Many people say that night duty, on calls , weekends days have give more hourly wage... If my duty is 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Friday.. Then if my night shift is available on Tuesday or Wednesday from 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM.. So, on tuesday or wednesday I have to skip regular shift or i have to do both regular shift from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and after 3 hours from 8:00 pm we have to do night shift? Is this night shift give more hourly wage?
