Dr Diary vs Padlock

Dr Diary is designed for BMA members who are consultants or SAS (staff, associate specialist and specialty) doctors in the UK, on the latest versions of their contracts.

View the reports to see what your workload looks like in terms of sessions or programmed activities (PAs) and how this compares to your job plan. Identify patterns to help plan future work and demonstrate areas for negotiation at your next appraisal or job plan review meeting. Key features include: • Add activities to your diary while offline • Personalise activities to fit the nature of your work, including DCC (Direct Clinical Care), SPA (Supporting Professional Activities), Academic Work and more • Choose to use either 15 or 30-minute time slots • Track your work for more than one employer • Copy a whole day or week of activities to another date • View summary reports on the app • See more detailed reports and share these with your employer at https://doctordiary.bma.org.uk

Padlock will change the relationship you have with your phone. Tap it against your iPhone, stash the Padlock somewhere that's out of the way, and your distracting apps are locked up. If you need to unlock them, retrieve the padlock and tap it again. To use this app, a physical Padlock device is required.
