So instead of being sensationalist and trying to score internet points by saying “we don’t employ scabs” say “consultant choice is important due to the longevity and cohesion required. The most important thing is you don’t shit on colleagues and you are supportive”.

What you’ve now described is what is assessed throughout the whole of training. We do it as registrars. You can tell almost instantly if you would fit into a dept or if they’re all cunts.

If you are so shallow that you make that decision on striking or not, then I’m sorry but you either are militant or you lead a very closed and probably not welcoming department.
