We have just agreed on a compliant rota which maintains a traditional
on call system. We introduce it in august though so it is currently
still "on paper".

its a 1:8, the on call person has 5 hours scheduled rest at the start
of the day, i.e.they come to work at 1pm and are then on call (and
fairly busy, although with anticipated 3-4 hrs rest - to give a total
8-9hrs rest in that 24hr period) until they hand over at 8am next day,
then they go home. Everyone else works a usual day. On saturdays &
sundays it a 24 hour day (the same person does friday and sunday). The
weekends may fail the monitoring without the guaranteed rest but the
EWTD guys are happy for us to try it.

Hope that helps
