Our Tremendous NHS Staff

We have such dedicated teams of health professionals who are putting their own safety on hold to deal with this Corvid-19 crisis and we should give thanks, on a daily basis, for the selfless work that they do to keep us all safe.

Here, here Alan, a lot has been said about stopping this & that, lock down etc but the NHS will be there at all times, many of us with loved ones, my daughter included

and mine, albeit she is now in a non-clinical role, she is part of a team with an input on how the situation is managed in her trust area. she has also been told she may have to return, as a still-qualified registered nurse, to practice if required

she commented yesterday that they are having to put security on the hand sanitizer dispensers because people are walking in off the street with empty bottles and emptying out the contents of the wall-mounted dispensers into their own receptacles to take away with them

This crisis really is bringing out the best (selfless work of health staff around the world) and the absolute worst (stealing hand sanitizer from hospitals) in people.

I bet it was that kid on Facebook whose been charging his pals 50p a squirt, so he could buy a kebab.
 
Envy of the World and needs protecting. Makes you wonder why DT will let only the UK into his parlour is it due to OUR NHS.
 
Stealing hand sanitizer is nothing new at JCUH, where I believe there's instances of desperate alcoholics drinking it for its alcohol content (maybe an urban myth).

Those praising the NHS may want to read Stuart Maconie's new book, The Nanny State Made Us, which celebrates everything the public services like the NHS, Libraries and state education have brought the country and why they should be cherished and not dismantled.

Great post Alan. My daughters both work for the NHS and were dismissed by Patel just last week as 'Unskilled Labour'. I'm sure many on here were agreeing with her. The people who prop up our NHS - the front line staff - deserve bloody medals.

Unskilled doesn't mean "having no skills". It means there are no barriers to entry to do the job, no qualification or experience needed. The fact that a job is classed as unskilled doesn't mean the job that is done isn't appreciated. A lot of difficult jobs are unskilled and under appreciated. Some of these jobs shouldn't be paid so poorly though because they are important jobs that we need doing and paying more ensures we get the best people to do them instead of people having a choice between something rewarding and worthwhile but difficult like caring or something much easier and of less benefit to society like retail or fast food.

*I am aware that retail isn't always easy. Customers can be awful and conditions not great. This is often due to how replaceable people are so they don't kick up a fuss in fear of losing their job.

'unskilled' workers play as important a role as any in society, time the hierarchical pay gaps were drastically eroded

I'm an ex nurse, I know the roles the auxiliary staff played, unfortunately they've been rewarded far less than the spivs and chancers in our backwards looking society.

My son is a HCA, he does not have the academic qualifications to be a nurse but I know he is bloody good at his job and is well respected for his willingness to learn and also his current knowledge of his role. Due to his circumstances, family wise, he would be better off claiming benefit but he is not made that way.

how, exactly? If you pay unskilled more then you have to pay skilled more; then you’re back to square one surely as the value of that increase has eroded
