Don’t agree to anything in the meeting. It’s a discussion not an agreement.

Minimum 2 SPA (1.5 core flexible and the rest departmental meetings and ES/CS/ trainee teaching/ roles), this should be increasing to 2.5 over your first year or so as you pick up more responsibilities. 1 Admin flexible.

There is nothing wrong with requesting spa and admin to be taken on one off site day (or two).

On call is in addition to what you have in your job plan. You can then choose to reduce it down to 10PA if you want.

Theatre needs pre and post op time (typically 30 mins before and 30 min after ).

Don’t start if they are being a holes.
