To Complete Monitoring Successfully
• Understand your rota and shift pattern
• Understand Rest
• Understand Natural Breaks
nwd.jdat@nw.hee.nhs.uk
Rota/Shift Type
• Full Shift
– In hospital working
– No rest just Natural Breaks
• On call
– Work 9-5 then go home and on-call from home (but
might occasionally get called in).
– In the 24 hours you must have a period of rest.
– Your have more hours on duty than you do working.
nwd.jdat@nw.hee.nhs.uk
Rest
• NOT paid for rest
• Best method – consider as
on-call, home and asleep
Natural Breaks
• Natural breaks are NOT
counted as rest.
• Natural Breaks are paid.
• You get them, or you don’t
Trainees who are not on an on-call
rota should leave rest as 0hrs on
monitoring

Natural Break - NB

able to get 30
minutes break
approximately every
4 hours then tick
box
– Standard 8 hour day
should have 1

working out of hours
