Notice Board - July 2011

New code for employing juniors

26 July 2011

A NEW code of practice has been agreed with NHS employers in Scotland on how they should treat junior doctors.

The BMA, NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and NHS Scotland have drawn up information that recruiting organisations and employers should provide trainees at each stage of the recruitment process, the first post and the subsequent rotations.

The document aims to ensure trainees have as much detail as possible about the programmes and posts they are applying for, where they will be working and their conditions of employment, as far as it is reasonably practicable to do so, to assist doctors in training in making important career and life choices.
