A new computer program helps create compliant senior house officer (SHO) rosters, balancing leave requests with UK New Deal regulations for junior doctors. This solution is available for free download.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Administration
  • Health Informatics
  • Workforce Management

Background:

  • The UK's New Deal for junior doctors imposes strict hour limitations, complicating the creation of Senior House Officer (SHO) rosters.
  • Satisfying SHO annual and study leave requests while adhering to New Deal compliance presents a significant scheduling challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a computer-based solution for generating compliant SHO rosters.
  • To demonstrate a program that integrates leave requests with New Deal regulations.

Main Methods:

  • Development and implementation of a computer program for roster generation.
  • Routine use of the program in a hospital trust's emergency department.

Main Results:

  • The program successfully generates SHO rosters that comply with the New Deal and accommodate leave requests.
  • The system has been in practical use for 18 months at Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals Trust.

Conclusions:

  • Computerized roster generation offers a viable solution to scheduling complexities for junior doctors.
  • The developed program is adaptable for various medical specialties beyond emergency medicine and is freely accessible.
