  • There is always a discussion and wonder about what the working hours are for doctors in the UK. Will you be expected to commit to crazy hours? What time does a shift start and when can you go home? What are ways you can ensure you go home on time?
    What about your allocated leave and general work pattern? Do you get time for holidays and to study? And how about maternity/paternity leave? Or if you want to work less than full time? Dr. Ibreez covers it all in this comprehensive video!

      yep I used to work 12 hrs eventhough I had to work just 8 hours in a private hospital because of the shortage of duty doctors ,I did not even get paid for extra hours!!!
      did not have holidays not even on sunday!! and I could take just 1 half day off in an entire year and I was already getting a frown from the consultant just for that
      eventhough I loved to work i felt frustrated and felt I was taken for granted

    If I finished my shifts in a nhs job which took me up to 48 hours per week , Did I have maximum up to 20 hours per week for work as locum as an img on visa tier 2 ??

    Many people say that night duty, on calls , weekends days have give more hourly wage... If my duty is 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday to Friday.. Then if my night shift is available on Tuesday or Wednesday from 8:00 PM to 7:00 AM.. So, on tuesday or wednesday I have to skip regular shift or i have to do both regular shift from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and after 3 hours from 8:00 pm we have to do night shift?
    Is this night shift give more hourly wage?
