Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust: Annualised hour rotas for emergency department doctors (2019)

Summary

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust found a key challenge in tackling emergency department (ED) doctors' low levels of satisfaction, high rates of burnout and high turnover was because of the way shifts were organised. They found that while ED could be a highly pressurised environment that could contribute to these issues, another key challenge was the way shifts were organised and the lack of flexibility that had become a standard part of being an ED doctor.
