The introduction of the European Working Time Directive has led to intensive debate regarding the working conditions, training and service delivery of Non Consultant Hospital Doctors. Surgical specialties are especially affected by the directive as they have always been associated with long working hours. These have been defended on the basis that these were required to achieve surgical competence. This study aims to survey the working hours and examine the activity of cardiothoracic surgery trainees, who traditionally worked long hours, in a single institution. Arising from the survey results, a novel working model is proposed.
《欧洲工作时间指令》的出台引发了关于非顾问医院医生的工作条件、培训和服务提供的激烈辩论。外科专科尤其受到该指令的影响，因为它们一直与长时间工作相关。人们认为长时间工作是培养手术能力所必需的，以此为其进行辩护。本研究旨在调查工作时间，并考察传统上工作时间较长的心胸外科住院医生在单一机构中的工作情况。根据调查结果，提出了一种全新的工作模式。
