Staff would normally leave their place of work at the end of their shift.</p><p> </p><p>There are particular provisions in the terms and conditions of doctors in training and consultants covering working at night.</p><p> </p><p>The doctors in training contract states: “Where a doctor is required to work overnight on a resident on-call working pattern, the doctor shall be provided with overnight accommodation for the resident on-call duty period. The consultant contract requires agreement with their employer on those occasions when they would be resident for night duties which, subject to the agreement, may include access to a dedicated place to rest.”</p><p> </p><p>Generally, employers do not require doctors to be resident on call, as all time resident on call is classified as working hours following the Jaeger judgement.
