Guide for use:![]() | This metadata item relates to each position (job) held by a medical practitioner, not the aggregate of hours worked in all. | |||||||||||
Collection methods:![]() | There are inherent problems in asking for information on number of hours usually worked per week, for example, reaching a satisfactory definition and communicating this definition to the respondents in a self-administered survey. Whether hours worked are collected for main job only, or main job and one or more additional jobs, it is important that a total for all jobs is included. | |||||||||||
Comments:![]() | It is often argued that health professionals contribute a considerable amount of time to voluntary professional work and that this component needs to be identified. This should be considered as an additional item, and kept segregated from data on paid hours worked. | |||||||||||
