Abstract
The cumulative effect of Calmanisation, the New Deal, the European Working Time Directive (EWTD) and the Jaeger and SiMAP rulings has been to reduce trainees' exposure to emergency surgery. The Hospital at Night project has been designed to create a generic team of doctors to maximise the number of doctors available for any task by removing boundaries between teams. This project is currently being piloted in a number of centres around the country, including Wansbeck General Hospital (WGH) a 323-bed district general hospital (DGH) serving a population of 240,000 in Northumberland.
