Thanks Flybaby.
Does anyone know if consultations happen on a Sunday I have been told I will be meeting the consultant on 30th August and er that's a sunday

It's possible, there is this move towards 24 hour working in the NHS these days, and I have had appointments in the evening (8 pm) on occasion.

However, I'd phone and check!

Melly while I've never had a Sunday appointment I've had a few Saturday's and even more evening appointments. I got the letter for a MRI scan today for a week day evening at 7.30pm

It's to reduce lists in my hospital, so maybe yours is the same.

A quick call will confirm it as correct or a simple typing error.

It's PALS that found out for me, I haven't had my letter yet will chase Monday if I don't get it tomorrow

Now I know who I have been referred to and what he specialises in the questions that I was asked make more sense.

mellymoo74

Yep Sunday 30th at 9am! Eep

Blimey. Wonder how much extra they've been paid for that early on a Sunday?

mellymoo74

At least no lost time (therefore money) so there's a bonus

Flybaby

yes, my OH had a sunday consultant apt once.


Hows things at your end - do I need to start playing cricket?
How was interview? I wouldn't mind doing just a RA at an interview - I am actually getting really fed up of doing site walks/inspections and "giving then my thoughts" - I think some people see I am a consultant and use an interview to get a free review and ideas. I don't mind an interview lasting an hour or two in the first instance, but I object to half a day for a first interview - seems too much.

Please flybaby today we have had horse impressions and a full blown 3 hour screaming tantrum (occasional shrieked no for variety)

Their not formal yet which is why their so short (plus I told em 2 hours max as I am responsible for site at contract place this month)
We did the what are your thoughts on the site tour at least it looks like I might bypass the first 90 days in role presentation.

I like their ethos which is nothing sits with HSE, so managers are responsible for their own I would operate as a coach, advisor and liase with staff.

Should know next week then it might get more formal (so far I haven't even worn a suit lol
