Improving Doctors' Working Lives

Monday, August 02, 2004

Update 
The BMA have begun monitoring the hours junior doctors are working, reports the Guardian.

The Scotsman reports on reductions in hours and Modernising Medical Careers.

The Sunday Herald is reporting that doctors in 11 out of 15 Scottish boards will be "forced to work illegally".

SpR Jo Hilborne talks to BBC News about the difference the new regulations will make to doctors.

In other news, the Medical Journal of Australia has a study which shows that some mobile phones do cause electromagnetic interference with hospital equipment in Australia. However, "mobile phones operating at 1800 MHz [the common European frequency] appear to cause less clinically relevant EMI and need to be closer to medical equipment to affect it."

MJA also has advice on Teaching On The Run.
