Deaneries and Employment Agency Legislation
Friday, 05 February 2010

Do you really know your rights?

Image

Employment Agency Legislation may protect you in many areas - in particular around confidentiality, 'stick-or-twist' and your right to information before you accept a post.

  • Employment Agency legislation offers significant protection to work seekers.
  • What is an Employment Agency?
  • Why don't Deaneries admit they are Employment Agencies?
  • Information given to work seekers
  • The twist and stick dilemma
  • Maintaining your confidentiality
  • Training Programmes and Contracts of Employment
  • If I withdraw from a job will the GMC be interested?
  • I have been offered a place on one Training Programme, but haven’t heard yet from the one I prefer. What should I do?
  • I think a Deanery has breached the regulations. What should I do?

Deaneries for Reform?
Wednesday, 20 January 2010
Image
Should Deaneries be subject to Employment Agency legislation? Should they become Employers of doctors-in-training? What are the biggest problems with recruitment?

The recent attempt to change the legal position of Deaneries has left more questions unanswered than ever before. The Remedy committee have summarised the key points that we would like to see addressed in the coming months.

We now invite feedback and further suggestions from our supporters, which we will collate and review.

We would be grateful if you could send suggestions to us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it   by 15th February 2010. Or you can add your comments at the foot of this page.

We are launching a competition to find the worst Rotas that Britain has to offer.

Have you got gaps in your rota? Then tell your MP
Saturday, 14 March 2009
Image
We are hearing more and more stories about shortages of doctors and gaps in rotas. Unfilled posts mean that individual doctors are working overtime (sometimes unpaid), teaching and delivery of the curriculum is struggling and patient care may be getting compromised. There seem to be no central figures on the problem, and those figures that do exist seem out-of-date and inaccurate. Our feedback from the DoH is that although they are aware that problem exists they are ‘not hearing any noise’ from the shop floor. And the Secretary of State seems unaware of the scale of the problem.

It is time to make some noise.

Remedy is urging individual doctors to write to their MPs and tell them what is going on, and to invite their senior and junior colleagues to do the same.
