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!

    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.😮

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?
