As a Foundation (F2) physician, you are employed in an emergency room. You have the right to protected study leave as part of your training, during which you can schedule a meeting with your educational supervisor*. You had scheduled a meeting with him for last week, but you had to postpone it because of a staffing shortage, which required the consultant to ask you to stay in the department at short notice.
