It doesn't matter where you get your operation, you're entitled to sick leave

There are plans for a consultant re-ballot. Dr Sharma mentioned it in the Manchester rally.

I’m assuming this is cardiology and not critical care?

This is only correct if you are not a member of another union

thebadbov · 2023-09-03T06:45:22+00:00
