Overview: 

All senior doctors have to produce a Job Plan to ensure they are meeting operational goals 
and targets. It’s Important to note that a job plan is more than a timetable or schedule of 
where a doctor needs to be at any time of the day or week. Of course, that is an important
component, but the idea of a job plan is to enable managers and doctors to work together,
to maximise efficiency and productivity for the greater good of the work-place and patients.
