If changes to a job description become significant the job description should be reviewed formally by the Head of Department and the post holder. At all times staff must conduct themselves and carry out their duties in a manner which supports the Trust’s equal opportunities policy and ensues that the working and learning environment provided within the Trust is free from bias or harassment.

The junior doctor accepts that he/she will also perform duties in occasional emergencies in unforeseen circumstances at the request of the appropriate Consultant, in consultation where practicable with his colleagues both junior and senior. It has been arranged between the Professions and the Department of Health that while they will perform such duties, the Secretary of State stresses that additional commitments arising out of this sub-section are exceptional; in particular, the junior should not be required to undertake work of this kind for long periods of time.
