SHO Rota CUH


Rota Rules

  1. Only two people may be on holidays at any one time.
  2. The SHO rostered on the locum week (weeks 3 and 8) is either on holidays or covering the week of a colleague on holidays. If neither of these apply that SHO works 0900-1800 Monday- Friday.
  3. If you choose to take holidays on a week during which you are rostered to work the weekend you must arrange for someone to work the weekend for you and pay them back (usually the SHO on the locum week) or else work it yourself. For this reason most people choose to take the locum week as a week of leave-this has the added advantage of being next to the week off after nights, giving you two weeks off for the price of one.
  4. Holidays are not allowed on weeks 1 and 6 (nights).
  5. Holidays must be signed off by the ED Registrar, and the appropriate leave application form co-signed by Dr. Stephen Cusack.
  6. You are entitled to three weeks holidays-everybody will get these. We will endeavour to give SHOs study leave if they are entitled to it, but this is dependent on service requirements-usually SHOs get study leave when they need it.
  7. If you swap a shift both you and the person with whom you are swapping must sign the “Swaps” list on the wall of the doctors room. This enables us to know who is supposed to be here and at what time. It is the responsibility of the person who requests the swap to ensure the list has been signed appropriately.
  8. If you are ill and unable to work please let the registrar on duty know as quickly as possible. This enables us to adjust the rota to suit service requirements. Occasionally when colleagues are unwell you may be asked to change shifts at short notice-please be flexible. (This is uncommon).

Leave

  • Everybody is entitled to three weeks annual leave.
  • Annual leave is taken in a logical manner and in acknowledgement of the fact that a service must be provided. For instance, not everybody that works in Brown Thomas can take leave at the same time. The same holds true for a twenty-four hour per day 365-day per year job in the Emergency Department.
  • Study leave is at the discretion of the Consultant. It is not a natural right and can only be given when all other things are equal, locums are available, and service needs allow. Study leave is also dependent upon approved exams, courses etc. being under taken.
  • Both Consultant and Registrar must approve all leave on the appropriate form.. Notice of leave must be given. At least one month’s notice of leave must be given, except in exceptional circumstances.
  • Sick leave must be notified by phone to the Registrar or Consultant on duty. Certificates must be provided as outlined in your contract.
