Abstract

In August 2007 NHS North West committed to delivering the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) 48-hour working week across the 38 trusts in the region, for all junior doctors in training, one year ahead of the national August 2009 deadline by recruiting a team of junior doctors to implement the project. This article will describe the management tools and techniques used in achieving this unique and ambitious task.
