I’d be grateful for your experience please…
Our Trust is insisting that all SPA activity occurs on-site. Traditionally we had agreed that at least 1 SPA could be at home, especially as our IT infrastructure is so poor that preparing talks or anything computer-related for that matter, is virtually impossible.
I wil contact the BMA about this but wondered what the SPA regulations in your Trusts were.
Many thanks

Aintree, Liverpool.
1.5 basic SPA.
We allow to be done at home.
Major problems with IT / internet access used as main
argument.
We find the flexibility helps.

Same in Crewe. 1 SPA off site. We are all on 11 sessions here and there simply isn’t the space in the timetable to fit another in regularly onsite. No robust monitoring here and output is
VERY variable! Cefin Mr Cefin Barton MB BCh, MRCS, FRCS(Tr&Orth) Consultant

Same in Rotherham
They tried to insist on all SPAs
done in hospital but it actually doesn't in with the timetable. We therefore allow some at home, although everybody has 1 SPA as a session on site, and a lot of the rest is
departmental meetings, etc.

In Leicester it is 0.5-1 depending on Consultants individual responsibilities. We now have full VPN
and decreasing office space so no reason why "home working" can't be justified but then assessed on output.
