Great piece Lara.

Would just add that in England it is now a requirement within the 2016 contract for employers to provide junior doctors with either a place to rest or alternative arrangements when you declare you are too tired to drive home.

So they should provide a room and if not should pay for a taxi. The person to ask for this is normally the site or operations manager.
