Calling Time

Calling Time was the the Working Time Directive publication, produced by Skills for Health – Workforce Projects Team, which was circulated across the NHS every two months.

From its first issue in December 2005, the newsletter updated healthcare staff on the progress of the implementation of Working Time Directive and discussed how the NHS was meeting the challenge. It kept readers informed of initiatives being tested and other works in progress that could help in developing and implementing your own compliance plans.

Please see the final issue, Calling Time 18, below:
