Improving Oncall and Emergency Duty Cover

Improving Oncall and Emergency Duty Cover

EDC and oncall often falls upon the more junior members of our teams and they are often the least empowered to improve things.
Rota commitments may be relatively short-lived and there may be a lack of sympathy from those that have had to put up with it themselves in the past.   

Rather than take the “Well, I had to suck it up” approach, I’ve been keen to improve things for those that came after me.   

Terms and conditions are not just about professional remuneration, pay is sometimes the minor issue.   
Management of rota clashes, access to support, well defined responsibilities, equity in shifts, safe rest time, even safe transport and parking are all negotiable factors with GHP and Unite the Union support.

 

Speakers
Jono Dewhurst, Chair of Regional Members - Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists (GHP)
