[Work-time regulations--organization--liability and financing. Why young physicians run away from hospitals]

  • Frank Montgomery

Abstract

Junior doctors refuse to work in German hospitals as working conditions are outrageous. The German Working Time Law has not correctly transposed the European Union's Working Time Directive (EU 93/104). The Marburger Bund is fighting for a reform of the working conditions and has developed a new model for organising working hours, which would not only lead to a correct transposition of the EU Directive, but would also bring better working conditions and better patient care to German hospitals.
