Improving Doctors' Working Lives

Doctors leave the NHS because they feel undervalued, according to a BMA report out today. Problems identified include lack of support, poor work-life balance and poor working conditions. Some factors have improved, the report concludes, but others need serious intervention.

New EU commissioner Stavros Dimas has said that he recognises the EWTD will cause "practical difficulties" for the health sector, according to a BBC News report. Dimas has said that he will have some legislative proposals to deal with the fallout of the SiMAP/Jaeger rulings in the summer.

However this is unlikely to affect the August 04 EWTD deadline, and could take 2 years to implement. BMA JDC chairman Simon Eccles commented "We would like to see the government preparing for the changes rather than investing all its energy in trying to get around them."
