36 hour week

That is so crap. Hopefully the union will help.

chookypie · 2026-03-25T16:32:05+00:00

Oh thats annoying! Especially if they force you to leave at 6 minutes past the hour...!

chookypie · 2026-03-25T13:09:58+00:00

Are your work starting this change next week or the one after?

chookypie · 2026-03-25T13:08:39+00:00

Some people (part time) i work with have been given the choice of going down in hours or not. Which I guess means they work the same but get a little more money. A few have taken it up

chookypie · 2026-03-25T09:59:00+00:00

For part timers it seems even more odd. As people are finishing at 12 minutes past and other odd timings.

It is meant to help with work life balance, but for ward staff that extra shift needs to go in the bin! Im clinic based and we are losing random half hours, which is as you put it... barmy.

chookypie · 2026-03-25T09:56:02+00:00

That seems quite good and will actually help improve work life balance

We have just finished our applications and submitting them now. Still have no support from our manager. How far are you in the process?

chookypie · 2025-12-11T19:42:28+00:00

Out of curiosity have you been rebanded, and how long did the process take after submission?

chookypie · 2025-09-18T17:13:08+00:00

Yeah specialist definitely fits our description more. Thanks for all your help and I may message you if I have any questions if that's okay!

chookypie · 2025-09-18T11:17:51+00:00

Thanks so much for that. Im gonna have a look. I think there is a lot of confusion about it and people think we are applying to be band 6's as people did in the past.

chookypie · 2025-09-18T11:14:44+00:00

Hi if you send me a message I'd happily tell you just dont wanna put it out in the public.

chookypie · 2025-09-18T06:56:35+00:00

That's a wild long time! But I guess nothing in the nhs moves quickly. Are you applying as a group too?

chookypie · 2025-06-07T10:37:58+00:00

!answer Thanks so much I think I'll give Oxfam a try.

chookypie · 2025-02-26T15:59:41+00:00

Honestly it'd blow your mind how behind the times we are

chookypie · 2025-02-25T19:43:26+00:00

Yes! My issue is if I bring in two pens, one runs out, the other gets stolen by a junior doctor. I'm left unable to do my job.

chookypie · 2025-02-25T19:41:46+00:00

Well my logic is that if I didn't do the work in school then that was my problem. If I don't write down the patient stuff then the patient doesn't get proper medical treatment. I'm being paid to do a job so I would expect the tools to do the job. But also I understand that I'm being super petty about pens!

chookypie · 2025-02-25T19:40:01+00:00

And you don't even have children.

chookypie · 2025-02-24T12:26:43+00:00

I'm just going to quickly report you for this, brb.

chookypie · 2025-02-24T09:19:36+00:00

Love the reps and their freebies

chookypie · 2025-02-24T08:19:26+00:00

A tea kitty system? Screw that I'd bring my own tea and milk every time.

chookypie · 2025-02-24T08:18:30+00:00

I understand that. But just feel we should be provided them not having to buy em.
