- 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!

I wish I had a 48 hour work as a US resident
Come to the dark side đ
This clarified many questions I had. Excellent video as always!
Glad to hear that :)
Thanks for another informative video once again. Your video are always appreciated.
You're welcome!
your style of speaking is pleasantly very articulate and would be great as a med school teacher
That's so nice of you to say!
Thanxs doc for amazing session.
You're welcome!
The people who say that the working hours in the UK are long clearly have never worked in India.
đ€Łđ€Ł
True
Itâs so true. Interns work like crazy and are expected to be in the hospital for 36 hours straight ! Even if you have done a night duty there is no excuse ! UK work regulations feels like luxury for Indians đ„ș
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
Too right mate, I work almost 150 hours a week, and im just an intern.
Am soo excited to always watch these videos.. Thank you so much guys
You're welcome!
very informative and interesting edits!
Thanks!
Helpful videos đ

Awesomeđđđ
Thanks đ€
Excellent đđđđ information
Thanks a lot!
Hey, thanks for all the information but can you cover the 1:4 or 1:11 rotas? I couldn't understand what they meant.
I see usually 1:8 on call rota and I just saw a 1:29 full shift rota?
What do those mean? Thanks again.
Mam thanks for website it is really really very help ful
Our pleasure đ€
@@RoadToUK mam I have a question if we couldn't clear mrcp after fy2 or ct1 grade do we struck at the same grade. we could not become consultants?
How can i maximize the annual leave days spent at home..i.e Pakistan...9 or 11 days aren't enough as I can only go home once or twice.
Hello guys, could you please shed more light on EDIC? I'm planning to pursue it & there aren't many reliable resources. It would be wonderful if you covered it.

Hello Ibreez!
While working as a junior dr., can I practice aesthetics during my days off?
Like I am a good at aesthetics and currently are performing such procedures in my home country!
It only takes 20 to 30 mins to perform a procedure and it is well payed.
Thank you so much!
You'd need to be licensed to do so and would need to ensure you meet the UKVI requirements for a second job
Great đ
đ
Thanks so much.really useful video.
Are annual leaves paid?
Yes they are!
thanks a lot for ur videos. i have a question
what should we do for friday pray? is it permited to leave about two hours for pray?
You are allowed breaks. Breaks are half an hour long. Many hospitals have jumuah prayer facilities but they do not require 2 hours of your time.
Can u pls give some detailed information on Anesthesia residents duty roster n how they r paid etc....thanks in advnce
Yes plz need a video on that
Love from kerala, India â€ïž

Sorry, but I canât fully understand
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 ??
Thatâs mean total working hours per week 68 hours ( 48 hours as maximum hours for main job + 20 hours limit for visa tier 2 )
The 20 hour limit is only if you locum in another hospital (not the one you're employed in).
Hi , could u pls guide me regarding non resident on call mean, what would the pay be and hours of work in a week be like
It would depend on your level and the specialty.
After clearing plab and getting my gmc registration, can I come to uk after two years? As in, not immediately after the registration?
Please reply
Yes but you need to pay to keep the registration valid and do yearly appraisals if you want the license to be valid as well.
Sir, I have Hepatitis B virus. Can I apply for PLAB or MRCP and get a job with hepatitis?
I got to know that Plab 1 and Plab 2 dates are not available for 1 year respectively for IMGs !! Is it true ? Can you please check if this is true ?
Omg, is this true?
No this is not true.
@@RoadToUK How to check the available dates for an IMG from India ??

Can you explain me that can i enter to speciality training after mrcp without doing core training in uk
Please see: czcams.com/video/J0L3WVm_wJA/video.html
I have a question!! can i will be able to do other part time jobs while working on NHS?
Not on a work visa as it states you can only do the work that is mentioned for the visa itself
What about dependent visa?
Hi. What if you don't avail your annual leaves for that particular year? will they lapse or be carried forward the next year?
Annual doesn't carry over. If it's not used, it's gone.
@@RoadToUK thanks and keep up the good work.
I have been doing a shift work as engineer, and must admit a 12hr shift pattern with 4days on, 6 days off, 4 nights on, 4 days off, 3day+3nights on & 4 days off and than restart again. This pattern gives good balance. This eight hour shift pattern is horrible.đź
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?
You have a set rota pattern as shown in the video. You can't skip your contracted work.
Can you only work LTFT if youâre in a training job? What about non training?
Yes you can be LTFT for both training and non training.
Question for work schedule for A&E. If your contract say 40 hours per week, but with this schedule in 1st week I can see shift is 9 hours long so per week it become 45 hours .. can we get paid extra for 5 hours which we will be above 40 hours..
It all averages out to 48 hours a week and the pay is adjusted accordingly
@@RoadToUK Thank you for reply
With exception reporting - how do the rota people not know there is understaffing?
It can be that someone has called in sick that morning, leaving a gap.
Working in NHS as a junior doctor
How locum hours can a doctor work practically ???
Pls reply
Depends on your work schedule.
7:22 is this for interns or consultants?
Hello mam... Does this work hour limit of 48 hours include locum hours too.. ??
Yes.
@@RoadToUK so I can't work beyond 48 hrs a week... Cz I've to pay back my education loan
@@amulcool7229 It's an average of 48 hours that cannot be exceeded.
@@RoadToUK thank u ma'am
How many months vacation can a doctor in the NHS can get?
At the minimum, it's 27 days in a year.
Thanks for this!! Are these leave days paid or unpaid?
Paid!
đźđź
Well most trust won't let you utilise the leave to maximum like adding many lieu days together
Not necessarily. It's down to ensuring you ask early enough and being cognizant of what others have asked for during that time. We've done it and others have as well.
So can you take maternity leave while your specialty training is going on?
Yes.
For how long they give maternity leave for junior doc???
These working hours and shifts ( example acute medicine ) are for resident junior doctors? , or are they for consultant?
These are not for consultants.
@@RoadToUK appreciate your reply . Thanks!!
Can a person do 5 hrs locum work in another hospital along with nhs after 8 hrs duty
Yes as long as they don't go over their hours
For core training in internal medicine core training, how many hours a day?
Contractually it would not matter what your role is- it has to follow the legal agreement.
what if i wish to work only 9 to 4 as junior doctor is it possible in NHS ?
Yes
If i have just started working with NHS as non training or training with just 3-4 months. Can i get maternity leave with such less period of work? And would it be paid unpaid?
It's always best to confer with BMA. They can give clear guidance.
If the job is only for 6 months how annual leave is calculated
Typically around 13 days but you can check your contract and know for sure.
As a junior doctor how many days you get off in a month?
Depends on the rota pattern.
You need to see the Malaysia doctor working hoursđ€Ł 60 hours a week for house officers and weekend are just weekdays
Oh wow!
@@RoadToUK I really want to work in the UK once I complete my house officer job, work life balance is so much better and it's a much healthier option. Too much of toxicity in the way things are run over here. The self doubt and fear you have walking into work isn't going to benefit anyone.
You should see Indian doctors then...
@@MadhaviKrishnan97 yeah đ€Ł
What about 72 hrs
Only yesterday on the news I saw an NHS doctor say she finished her shift at 11pm and had to be back to work the next morning by 7am. Thereâs no 11 hour gap there between shifts.
There are rules in place to report such incidents and exception report to ensure you stay compliant. We have used them many times to get hours and/or pay back. Failure to do so on part of an individual does not mean there is no recourse.
When will UKMLA WILL BE IMPLEMENTED 2024 OR 2025 ?
Please see: czcams.com/video/7qrzEG_vjQU/video.html
Is annual leave fully paid??
Yes.
How many ortho surgeons are in uk
That information doesn't exist as far as we know.

are all these types of leave paid?
Yes.

Over the years every worker has had a "wage cut" because wage rises that are below inflation .........so why do the doctors think they are a special case and should have their salaries restored ???????????
Just us, huh?
