About this session

The effects of flexible working are experienced by every paediatrician whether it be from an individual or team perspective. We will explore working patterns for PGDiT, consultants and SAS doctors, how they have changed over time and the impact on ways of working, recruitment, staff wellbeing and quality of service. Looking at data from the Workforce CCT survey, legislation and NHS guidance, this will be an interactive session where we discuss local experiences, where the real needs are and how we can foster an environment that supports flexible working while maintaining a sustainable workforce and high-quality service.
