Just had my rota through for the next 8 months. Despite me giving over one year's notice, they have rostered me to work 9AM-9PM on the weekend of my wedding 🙃

Booked a family holiday for Mar 24 in Jul 23. Spent months trying to contact the rota coord at the Trust I start at in Feb to organise leave. Told I needed to find swaps but not given contact details of other drs. It’s all become so stressful that we’ve cancelled the holiday.

I know my contractual rights, how to throw my weight around, and if it comes to it I simply won't be turning up to the shifts. It's still pretty galling, and just about every other doctor I know has a story similar to this.

Medical staffing/rota coordination is a thankless job and has been woefully understaffed/unresponsive at most trusts where I've worked. @SWBHnhs is the only exception
