A P Saklani et al. Hosp Med. 2003 Sep.

Abstract

The 'on-call' system for doctors within the health service maintains a continuity of care. However, allowing doctors to drive home after a night on call may pose a public hazard. The aim of this survey was to assess doctors' opinions regarding the safety of driving without adequate sleep.
