Complying with the Working Time Regulations (WTR)

Pursuant to the Regulations, RMO's should have:

  • 11 hours rest in each 24 hour period
  • At least one day off per week
  • No more than 8 hours of night work in any 24 hours, and
  • 4 weeks paid annual leave

NES is committed to providing better working terms and conditions for RMOs. We have already implemented changes in our rotation system, by creating a new ABCD rotation system in compliance with the Regulations.

These rotations offer flexibility, choice and most importantly a better work-life balance.

  The ABCD Model Back to top

Under the ABCD model you will:

  • Work on average 42 hours per week (to fall in line with the new Working Time Directive or to mirror the changes in the NHS)
  • Work flexible shift patterns
  • Earn a salary ranging from £32 - £35K per annum. This will be dependent upon your experience and qualifications, as well as the workload, acuity, antisocial nature and the type of accommodation provided.
  • Be entitled to 4 weeks paid annual leave.
  • Enjoy an abundance of quality free time to:
    • Increase your earnings
    • Study
    • Travel

 Minimum Obligations Back to top

The minimum obligations you have towards working as an RMO are:

  • You must maintain your annual GMC registration
  • Current ALS and EPLS certification. If you do not have these you must be prepared to complete them before starting work. 
  • You must follow the GMC ‘Maintaining Good Medical Practice Guide’.
  • Enhanced Disclosure under the Criminal Records Bureau will be required. NES will apply for this on your behalf.
 Characteristics Back to top

The main characteristics of these posts are:

  • These are non-career grade (non-training) posts.
  • Working hours will be an average of 42 hours work per week over a 17-22 week reference period.
  • Weekends are normally less busy.
  • RMO work in the Private Sector is totally unlike any NHS work: Doctors have a low level of responsibility in a consultant led service.
  • The main role of an RMO is risk management and assessing a change in a patients’ condition, instigating emergency treatment and informing the consultant immediately.
  • An RMO may not leave the hospital under any circumstances when on duty and must wait for the opposite doctor to arrive before he/she can leave the hospital.
