Comparative StudyComparison of the views of junior doctors, consultants and managers on work and training.
To determine the views of junior hospital doctors on their working conditions, NHS reforms and training, and to compare their views with those of consultants and managers. ⋯ Junior doctors had strong feelings about several areas covered in the questionnaire; in particular, more structured training without the requirement to undertake a higher degree would be welcomed. Shift systems are unpopular and the reduction of 'non-medical' tasks with a reduction in work intensity is perceived to be more important than further reductions in hours available for work.
