Hi Roisin
The attached article is a good epidemiological review on the subject.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Shift patterns / health effects of shift work
Hi Everyone,
I wonder does anyone have some current medical evidence / facts and figures relating to health effects of shift work / night work, plus anything interesting regarding shift patterns (eg examples of patterns that would be evidenced as lower risk from a health perspective)?
I've got the recent RCN guidance (shift in the right direction), the HSE guidance on managing shift work and some other stuff but the most recent study I can find at the moment was done in 2005.
I'd be very grateful if anyone had some more recent information / evidence they'd be willing to share or point me towards.
Many thanks,
Roisin
