About
The new Consultant Contract is available to all consultants from 1 April 2004. It offers the NHS a more effective system of planning and timetabling consultants’ duties for the NHS. For consultants it gives greater financial recognition as well as greater transparency about the commitments expected of them. For patients this means less tired doctors and services which reflects the needs of patients.
