To assess ophthalmic trainees' perspective of the impact of the European Working Time Regulations (EWTR) on their training.
All trainees in ophthalmology in the UK were emailed a link to an electronic survey asking about their experiences of the EWTR.
324 trainees (46% of those invited) responded to the survey. 44.4% of trainees reported that their posts were compliant with the EWTR. 40.7% felt that training had been adversely affected. 49.1% thought that ophthalmic trainees should opt out of the EWTR to work more than 48 h per week, with 57 the mean number of hours suggested appropriate.
Many ophthalmic trainees in the United Kingdom are working in rotas which are not compliant with the European Working Time Directive. Many trainees feel that implementation of the EWTD has had a negative effect on training and feel it would be acceptable to work a higher number of hours per week.
评估眼科培训医师对欧洲工作时间法规（EWTR）对其培训影响的看法。
向英国所有眼科培训医师发送电子邮件，链接到电子调查，询问他们对 EWTR 的经验。
324 名培训医师（邀请人数的 46%）对调查做出了回应。44.4%的培训医师报告说他们的岗位符合 EWTR。40.7%的人认为培训受到了不利影响。49.1%的人认为眼科培训医师应该选择退出 EWTR，每周工作超过 48 小时，建议合适的平均每周工作小时数为 57 小时。
英国许多眼科培训医师的轮班工作不符合欧洲工作时间指令。许多培训医师认为 EWTD 的实施对培训产生了负面影响，他们认为每周工作更多小时数是可以接受的。
