ABSTRACT

A similar scheme will be followed in After Hours, where the JMO life cycle has been compressed from months into hours. And this vastly different work environment necessitates a new set of strategies for organising your tasks, for looking after your patients as you hold the fort through the night against the unknown legions of changing clinical conditions and await the relief of dawn’s first light. From pay to working hours, from Overtime to Leave, all these interesting matters of common interest will be reviewed, with a focus on the Public Hospital Award, the chief document that governs your working life, the document that both you and the Hospital are mandated to abide by. And the sorrier fact is that even Bosses, sitting as they do at the absolute pinnacle of the medical spire, have their own distinct set of Admin duties to navigate, not the least of which is the Hospital system.
