A requirement of this position is the ability to partake in an on-call out-of-hours rota.
Ideally the on-call doctor should be a member of the Center, and this is possible when the complement of doctors is large enough.
So I called the delivery suite who told me that Rachael, the on-call midwife, would ring me back.
He notified the on-call gynecology registrar about Mrs Y's condition and he contacted the ITU SHO on three occasions during the night.
They have reduced the number of on-call rotas from 117 to 44 with no increase in risk.
