Under the European Working Time Directive (EWTD), doctors have had their working hours incrementally decreased, and by August 2009 their hours were reduced to a maximum of 48 per week, raising widespread debate about the implications for the training of doctors.
Medical Education England (MEE), an Independent Advisory Non-Departmental Public Body, was commissioned by the Secretary of State for Health to conduct a review into the impact of the reduced hours on the training of doctors, dentists, pharmacists and healthcare scientists in response to these concerns.
The challenge was to produce clear, realistic recommendations about how the NHS can continue to produce well-trained and safe professionals in a rapidly changing environment. PA Consulting Group was appointed to provide dedicated support to Professor Sir John Temple, the Independent Chair of the Review to facilitate the review and draft the final report.
