| Guide for use: | This metadata item relates to each position (job) held by a medical practitioner. | ||||
| Collection methods: | There are inherent problems in asking for information on number of hours on-call not worked per week, for example, reaching a satisfactory definition and communicating this definition to the respondents in a self-administered survey. Whether hours on-call not 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. | ||||
