New Deal and EWTD Analysis 
 
 
Barnet & Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust, Barnet, General 
Surgery, templatefy1BH, F1, Full Shift, Resident

Calculations based on the template only
Band 1B (Based on template only) 
Steps through the banding flowchart: 
- New Deal Compliant 
- Average work 48 hours a week or less 
- Work pattern is a full shift, partial shift or hybrid 
- Less than 1/3 of duty hours outside 7am to 7pm Mon-Fri (.076) and 
less than 1 weekend in 4 (1 in 9.00) 
 
 
Note: The band of a rota may change if monitored hours of work are 
different to those suggested by the theoretical work pattern. It is 
particularly important to remember this if a theoretical work pattern is 
close to the limits of a particular payband. Differences between 
calculated prospective cover and actual work done by doctors to cover 
absent colleagues can also cause a variance between theoretical and 
monitored bands. 
 
Prospective Cover Calculations 
Prospective cover for: Duties outside normal hours. 
 
Leave: F1 - 27 days/annum for 9 doctors = 243 days/annum 
 
Total leave to be covered for the group = 243 days/annum 
Between 9 doctors this is 27 days/annum each (5.4 wks/annum each) 
 
The normal working week = 45:00 per week. 
Cover to be provided for all out of hours duties = 02:30 per week. 
(Total Duty hrs - Normal week hrs) 
Each doctor must cover 2.5 x 27 / ( 365 - 27) hours/week 
This gives an average .2 hours/week for prospective cover.

Calculations combining template and monitoring
This analysis is based on the template, but uses actual average duty 
period lengths calculated from the diary cards. These are normal 
working days and duties where a duty code has been entered to link 
the diary card to the theoretical pattern. There must be at least two 
examples of a day type for the average to be used.

- New Deal Compliant 
- Average work 48 hours a week or less 
- Work pattern is a full shift, partial shift or hybrid

Prospective cover for: Duties outside normal hours. 
 
Leave: F1 - 27 days/annum for 9 doctors = 243 days/annum 
 
Total leave to be covered for the group = 243 days/annum 
Between 9 doctors this is 27 days/annum each (5.4 wks/annum each) 
 
The normal working week = 44:15 per week. 
Cover to be provided for all out of hours duties = 02:55 per week. 
(Total Duty hrs - Normal week hrs) 
Each doctor must cover 2.917 x 27 / ( 365 - 27) hours/week 
This gives an average .233 hours/week for prospective cover.
