Work-life balance is hard to beat if you train in psych in the uk. I am in higher training (ST5) in the North East and have over 32 days of annual paid leave, excluding public holidays. Currently on a 36 hour week rota with 0 nights. Many patients but expectations are low; you get to leave on time and the patients have to come back another day if you are too busy to see them today. Also get 1 day off every week for self-directed learning and medical teaching. Am doing old age psychiatry.
