Time for Training A review of the impact of the European Working Time Directive on the quality of training Professor Sir John Temple
Findings….. “It is possible to train in 48 hours”
BUT “This is precluded when trainees have a major role in out of hours service, are poorly supervised and access to learning is limited”
Positive impact where well implemented • Good rota design • Involvement of experienced doctors • Enhanced supervision • Increased training opportunities • Improved patient safety and experience • Better work/life balance
Problems • Gaps in rotas • Emergency/OOH workloads • Traditional apprenticeship models • Current pattern of service
Implement a consultant delivered service • Direct responsibility 24/7 • Work more flexibly • Align with CCT holder output • Consultant contract • Reward consultant trainers • How will we afford this?
Response from SoS To bring the Directive back to the European Commission in order to limit its impact on UK health services
Not to go back to the past with tired doctors working long hours • To align the New Deal with the Directive • The service and the profession to change working practices
Implement the consultant contract and job planning more effectively • Determine the appropriate service contribution of the trainee
The Centre for Workforce Intelligence • Mouchel and Manchester University • Plus Workforce Review Team • Commissioned to • Model numbers for 2011 • Model CCT output and consultant delivered service • Model future numbers over next 5 years
OUTSIDE THE BOX Specialist Registration before subspecialty Post CCT Fellowships Define role and responsibility of trainee More recruitment entry points Abandon CCT concept CESR/ CCT Becomes CSR Transferable competences Hybrid training programmes Train hospitalists Flexible duration of training Define E-learning/ simulation usage Exit examinations
A patient-led NHS Delivering better health outcomes A more autonomous and accountable system Improved public health A focus on reforming long-term and social care SoS Vision for health and care
Training and Education • Employers and staff agree plans and funding for workforce development • This determines education commissioning plan
Education commissioning led locally and nationally by the healthcare professions
Through For doctors, healthcare scientists and pharmacists Through similar mechanisms for nurses, midwives and AHPs
The professions will play a leading role in deciding the structure and content of training, and quality standards
All providers will pay to meet the costs of training • The national commissioning board will provide oversight • The CfWI will act as a constant source of information
Timescale “Reforms will be managed so changes do not destabilise individual providers”
