These guidelines are designed to assist doctors and supervisors in negotiating flexible working arrangements.

The AMA is today launching its 2011 Safe Hours Audit, an online survey to collect data on the working hours and work patterns of junior and salaried doctors over the period of 8-14 August 2011.
