Doctors in training and the Working Time Regulations

The Working Time (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 amend the Working Time Regulations by continuing to phase in the reduction in the maximum number of hours (subject to individual opt out) that doctors in training are required to work. Doctors in training are now (subject to individual opt out) subject to the 48hr limit, however certain categories of doctors in training will have a limit of 52 hours and these categories are detailed in the Regulations.
