JUNIOR DOCTORS: a few points on Redeployment: - Firstly, it should be voluntary. You should not be forced to move.
- All other options should have been exhausted (eg: use of returners, utilisation of other staff within your Trust)

This is 4 nation guidance from the education bodies.
It must have been followed if you are being asked to move.
eg: You must know what induction and supervision you will receive (this is a key theme).
You must also be informed of the timeframe proposed.

You should receive information about any proposed redeployment, induction and work schedules in a TIMELY manner (in accordance with guidance from HEE).
- Our guidance on this specifies 14 days for a new rota during COVID-19 (normally it would be 6 weeks).

The impacts (personal and educational) must have been assessed individually including:
- any health reasons for not being moved
- requirements for additional supervision
- any potential ARCP impacts/risks
- will this move affect your CCT date?
Speak to your ed supervisor

Induction, training, working within your competence, & supervision are all vital for both junior doctor and patient safety. If any are missing:
- Raise immediately with a senior clinician/ES, & log it as an incident
- Contact @TheBMA, & your local BMA rep / regional JDC.
