As a doctor currently on a night shift, I am very jealous of all the nurses going for protected rest breaks.

I fully understand that those are unpaid, however BMA documentation states as doctors we should have 3x 30 min breaks on shifts over 30 hours.

I do not know anyone who has ever managed this consistently over any shifts (long day or nights).

Is this just an accepted part of our profession or is there an actual solution to having proper breaks

I’ll go first… Obstetrics please find something to do for a minute instead of starting me down like I have the ability to control time
