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)

(1/9)

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.

(2/9)

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).

(3/9)

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

(4/9)

In starting somewhere new, you MUST have everything outlined in the attached.

(This is from @NHS_HealthEdEng's document "Supporting the NHS during resurge phases of COVID-19 and the ongoing pandemic: managing the training workforce")

(5/9)

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.

(6/9)

If raising with a senior clinician/ES does not improve the situation, @NHS_HealthEdEng have outlined a process to follow here:

(Your DME is also a good port of call).
