The 75,000 resident doctors working across the NHS are the backbone of the service – but too often they are let down on basic issues like payroll errors, poor rota management, lack of access to rest facilities and hot food, and unnecessarily repeating training. Supported by our commitment to staff under the 10 Year Health Plan for England, NHS England is setting out 10 ways in which we are improving resident doctors working conditions over the next 12 weeks.

This plan sets out actions for NHS England and individual trusts. To ensure meaningful progress, it will be formally incorporated into the new NHS Oversight Framework.
