Description:

The intention behind this collection was to assess whether resident 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.

This data collection was reintroduced and approved by the DAPB in July 2025.
