On-call room

On-call room

An on-call room is a room in a hospital with either a couch or a bunkbed intended for staff to rest in while they are on call or due to be.

In the European Community, the 2003 extension of the working time directive to junior doctors and the ruling that on-call time counts as working hours has resulted in the introduction of shift working for hospital medical staff, thereby eliminating the requirements for on-call rooms.[1]
