Sir, – The silence of our hospital consultant colleagues with regard to the ongoing campaign by junior hospital doctors to maximize our on-call working hours commitment to 24 hours is of concern. As senior figures within our hospital system hospital consultants need to show the leadership required of them, by being seen and heard in supporting and standing alongside their junior colleagues in order to help bring this inhumane exploitation of their junior colleagues to an end.
I look forward to their support! – Yours, etc,
