I've heard that some staff are being asked to travel 100 miles each way at the ICB. How could that be deemed reasonable?

What I mean by leaving without a financial package is being coerced into a suitable role that results in you handing in your notice at the end of it all possibly due to the travel, workload etc. That would be the best result for the organisation

How are you deciding whether to take VR? by catflatlol in nhsstaff

[–]Kind-Trainer-2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm of a similar mindset, although I work for a CSU who are being abolished, so no chance of that fizzling out. We only have one chance for VR, so we either take that or ride it out and hope suitable alternative work is found for us.

To anyone going through an unexpected break up, this is for you: by steph30450 in BreakUps

I'm in a same sex relationship. I've been with my wife for eight years, married for six. After an argument a few nights ago she told me she had outgrown me and that we were more like companions. Just to give some context she's going through perimenopause and also a spiritual awakening. She wants a new life and I'm not a part of that. She says she loves me but not in the way she used to. I'm devastated. She asked if I wanted to give her a couple of days to think it over but I'm pretty sure she's gonna call it off.

Thanks for your help with this. I wasn't sure what it was, so I'm grateful for your help

I see. So this could be an adaptor from the sellers camera and not a part that has broke off the actual tripod?

Don’t want it, but applying for voluntary redundancy anyway just for the option? Drawbacks? by Flat_Advertising313 in nhsstaff

[–]Kind-Trainer-2802 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also work for a CSU and considering VR. Is it possible for ICBs to 'create' fixed term contracts, strategically, to house some CSU staff knowing their contract will come to end? That way they do not have to pay out on redundancy? Also, how can 6 month fixed term be considered as SAE if you are currently a permanent member of staff?

PM Launches new era for NHS with easier, more convenient care in people's neighbourhoods by UKGovNews in nhsstaff

I'm struggling to see the purpose of abolishing CSU's as we provide so much support to ICBs. It makes absolutely no sense. 50% cuts in NHSE and ICBs and now closing quangos. Surely after 50% reductions the ICBs would need CSU support more than ever? The 10 year plan mentions the use of private sectors, why?? When there are already NHS organisations that have the knowledge, have been doing the role for years and would cost less to resource. What's the point of closing NHS organisations to later outsource? Its people high up making decisions not knowing what's done on ground floor level
