the group on duty // standby group Explanation: My suggestion. According to DA>EN Gyldendal, jour refers to being on duty. In this case, I believe the text is referring to a group on standby, as the people are available when needed. I therefore would prefer "standby group" or similar term. |

on-call team Explanation: "Jourgruppen" is typically a team of specialists that can be contacted outside office hours. Compare the following two text: Ref 1: "After office hours, an on-call team consisting of an Otolaryngologist resident and staff doctor is available to respond to emergencies." Ref 2: "Om en akut skada, som till exempel en vattenläcka, skulle uppstå utanför kontorstid, kan du som bor i Skellefteå centralort kontakta vår jourgrupp. Den finns tillgänglig kvällar, nätter och helger. Men inte under kontorstid, då du ska vända dig till din bovärd istället." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-11-18 23:18:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The phrase "On-call team" gives ca. 30000 hits on Google.

on-call group Explanation: I prefer this rather than on-call team, which implies people working together in a specific team whereas the members of a group do not necessarily work in a team. |
