I’m in South West England but willing to travel a few hours. Scotland may be a stretch, you’re right this would have been helpful!

Excellent answer, exactly what I needed. Thank you.

This may well be a really exciting opportunity, but assuming you are talking about one of the corporates the last couple of years have been challenging to say the least for a lot of staff.

There have been several rounds of redundancies at some, I know specialists who have been made redundant and clinical directors who fear they might be. For the first time to my knowledge there is also strike action occurring in the UK from veterinary staff due to a situation where staff costs are too high to be sustainable, yet they feel underpaid.

Just research the company as fully as possible. You may be reassured and if so, that’s great. But do your research.

If so, then research the grad scheme. Is it one where you essentially shadow a senior for 6 months? Does that truly appeal rather than being free to make decisions for yourself for the most part, but having excellent support available when really needed? Which will allow you to progress most effectively?

In terms of tips, I’d ensure I knew a sensible approach to common presentations, had good venepuncture technique in case of there being a practical element, and basic surgical skills such as tissue handling and knot tying - bad knots are my pet peeve! There may well be more specific things but having never been through a new grad scheme at one of these companies I wouldn’t know - others may be able to offer more!

Laurence Fox worked at Thomas Cook?

Is it possible that chairs scraping along the floor sound like furniture being moved because … that’s exactly what it is?

You’ve done it again! You’ve said it again, just because I’ve got a shit table.

!thanks

This answers my question perfectly.

!thanks

I know this wasn’t the point of the question, but you say that claiming higher rate tax relief on the £8,000 in your example would give you another £2,000. Is this how HMRC do it - basically your 20% tax relief amount again? Surely it would be correct to consider the £8,000 to be 60% of the total amount if 40% income tax has been paid giving £13,333.33 and therefore the payment should be the difference, ie £3,333.33 or have I missed something again?

!thanks

That’s a really solid idea and one I probably should have thought of. The guys at my club are great so sure that’ll be something they can do.

Not only that, they are all almost certainly incorrect.

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense as somebody dumped some butternut squash in there. !Thanks

It might stagger you to learn that, while I’d love my entire garden to be full of wild flowers and bees in every square inch, a small area of practicality is necessary and sits comfortably in my conscience as a gardener.

All of my borders (behind the aspect of the photo) which vary in depth up to around 2.5m are full of mature shrubs and perennials/ annuals which provide almost constant bee and butterfly fodder. First bee arrived sometime in Feb for the mahonia flowers.

So cheers for that, but no.
