EWTD news
The full text of the BMA's evidence to the Inquiry on the European Working Time Directive is now available. A press release summarises the BMA's concerns over what it perceives as the NHS's lack of preparation for EWTD.
NHS news
Rudolf Klein in the New England Journal of Medicine reviews developments in the British National Health Service, including the new consultant contract and EWTD pressures.
Doctors for Reform, a group of 500 hospital consultants, has placed a full page advertisement in the Times calling for the NHS to be funded by compulsory health insurance. The call has been dismissed by the goverment who insist that the NHS should be paid for by taxation (Scotsman).
The second Wanless review is also out, and includes the recommendation that the NHS needs to become an "exemplar" in improving staff health levels.
