New Deal and EWTD Analysis 
 
 
Barnet & Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust, barnet, General 
Medicine, template, 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 (.139) and less 
than 1 weekend in 4 (1 in 6.00) 
 
 
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: HO - 47 days/annum for 12 doctors = 564 days/annum 
 
Total leave to be covered for the group = 564 days/annum 
Between 12 doctors this is 47 days/annum each (9.4 wks/annum each) 
 
The normal working week = 45:00 per week. 
Cover to be provided for all out of hours duties = 00:55 per week. (Total 
Duty hrs - Normal week hrs) 
Each doctor must cover .917 x 47 / ( 365 - 47) hours/week 
This gives an average .135 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. 
 
Band 1B (Based on template and monitoring)  
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 (.147) and less 
than 1 weekend in 4 (1 in 6.00) 
 
 
Prospective Cover Calculations 
Prospective cover for: Duties outside normal hours. 
 
Leave: HO - 47 days/annum for 12 doctors = 564 days/annum 
 
Total leave to be covered for the group = 564 days/annum 
Between 12 doctors this is 47 days/annum each (9.4 wks/annum each) 
 
The normal working week = 47:30 per week. 
Cover to be provided for all out of hours duties = 00:26 per week. (Total 
Duty hrs - Normal week hrs) 
Each doctor must cover .432 x 47 / ( 365 - 47) hours/week 
This gives an average .064 hours/week for prospective cover.
