Skills for Health - Workforce Projects Team is developing the series over the coming months and years in the build up to 2009 to showcase good practice examples and areas of work that might be useful.

The booklets are aimed at WTD leads, human resources and workforce planning professionals, service leads, clinicians, junior doctors, nurses and executive board members.

Introducing the Working Time Directive 2009 Pilot sites gives a brief overview of the WTD 2009 pilot sites and sets out the objectives of the pilot schemes, key challenges they have faced and how they are aiming to deliver compliance.

Working Time Directive 2009 - Education and Training was produced in conjunction with the National Association of Clinical Tutors and provides information on applying WTD 2009 to doctors in training and contains useful links to the background of WTD.

To order a copy of either publication please email pilots@skillsforhealth.org.uk with 'pilot sites' or 'education and training' in the subject line.

Future booklets in the publication series include Hospital at Night, Rota Design and IT solutions which will be released in the next few months.
