Working conditions for Irish and UK doctors

The following is an article from an Irish online journal. It represents the views of an Irish doctor with regard to the general working conditions for non-consultant doctors. It’s obviously written with a certain political angle, but it does provide interesting food for thought with regard to the European Working time directive.

It’s interesting to contrast the previous link with a blog entry on the BMJ about the ethics of taking time off when sick. The author alerts us to the inherent contradictions  around professionalism. Again the European Working Time Directive is involved.
