I hear from various folk who have been overseas attempting to lure under-employed Eurodocs to the UK that no-one over there takes much notice of the EWTD. Mind you, since they have more doctors per rota, perhaps they don't feel the need to stand up for their rights. I hear that in Germany you work as the organisation tells you so that you will gain advancement up the career ladder to director of service, but on a 1:12 basic rota even i would work more than my contract! Does anyone have any genuine experience of this? I may of course be just be being sold travelers tales. >Can anyone enlighten me on some of the details of this legislation?
