It is the responsibility of all staff to ensure that the Working Time Directive is complied with. Managers will ensure the health and wellbeing of all staff undertaking additional duties and maintain compliance with statutory rest periods.
Pressure on our workforce can also come from abnormally high level of staff sickness, which can impact further on delivering care to patients. To limit this, we offer a wide range of support, from health and wellbeing to constantly updating IPC advice. It is vital that you support your peers, so they can be as fit and well as possible.
