Evening all!
Need your help if we want to change the >16hour on call and standby issue. (A lot of surg / crit care specialities are having to stick around twiddling their thumbs for 24 hours/ not sleeping well in case they get called in. As per EBA on-call periods should not exceed 16 hours)
Please fill out this anonymous survey to help ARDS collect data points:

THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS SURVEY UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO INCLUDE YOUR DETAILS ON THE LAST QUESTION 38. On-call 38.1 On-call must be identified in the roster including whether it is General On-call at subclause 38.2(a) or Standby On-all at subclause 38.2(b). The provisions of this clause 38 are to be read in...
