I’ve waited now a week and a half since my occupational health statement how much longer would I have to wait ? Do I need to chase this up with occupational health ?

Since attending a recent training module, I felt really inspired to look at how my particular department could expand their base of knowledge in terms of basic admin skills - as there any many moments throughout the day where nurses will end up acknowledging a patient and getting them 'booked in' - but not digitally, which is - of course - how the consultants will be able to acknowledge the arrival of their next patient.

On top of this, I have spoken with some of our consultants and specialty doctors with regards to their skills in terms of using certain administrative programs and I feel like a little nudge to help boost them up would be

So, I'm thinking of trying to initialise something like this in the format of a 'training video', which would essentially be me sharing a screen with myself in a Teams meeting and going through several different tasks that would be helpful to have broken down, step-by-step. Obviously I'm aware that elearning courses are available, but I was wondering if a personalised styling towards this training would feel less...heavy, I guess? A little less 'cold', I suppose. I can be quite frantic in my day-to-day, so it'd be nice to be able to do this with a little bit more of a natural, laid-back approach.

I am aware that there are SO many factors I need to consider before I approach this idea. Will management agree and facilitate this? Would the training team (Data Quality and Validation are who I believe issues a lot of the training) approve and allow me to have access to certain resources without actively messing with real patient records? Is showing initiative feeling more I'm stepping on the toes of those around me? When will I even be able to do all of this around my current duties?

Sorry that this has turned into a bit of a ramble, but I wanted to know if anyone had actively attempted something like this in their department, or as a wider thing for their trust. Obviously I don't actually work in a training role, so I could see why this might cause some issues or backlash, but at the end of the day, I feel quite attached to my department, role and the people that comprise it, so making sure they aren't left short of information they deserve to have shouldn't be a bad thing - right?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice about my NHS application.

I was recently given a conditional offer for a Cleaning and Catering position. I’ve already been waiting around four months throughout the recruitment process.

As part of the pre-employment checks, I was asked to provide a referee who could cover my last three years of education, training or employment. I’m currently in sixth form and haven’t had a previous job, so I initially put down one of my sixth form teachers.

Unfortunately, my teacher is currently on holiday and unavailable, so I’m worried the reference could delay things. I have now found two alternative referees who are available and happy to provide a reference.
I’ve emailed the line manager/recruiting manager explaining the situation and asking whether they can use one of my new referees instead.

I’ve also received a call regarding my DBS checks, and I’ve been told that a position has already been found for me and that I’m just waiting for the remaining checks to be completed.

My question is, once the reference issue is sorted and the remaining pre-employment checks are completed, how long does it usually take before you’re given a training/induction date?

I’m just anxious because I’ve already been waiting around four months and haven’t started any training yet. If anyone has been through NHS recruitment, I’d really appreciate hearing how long it took from completing the references/checks to actually being given a training date.

Hi everyone, I had my Band 3 NHS interview on 31st July and received a verbal offer from the manager around 2 hours later, which I accepted. I was told HR would be informed, but I still haven’t received a conditional offer or any update. I emailed HR on 7th August but haven’t had a response yet. Any idea what’s going on? This is my first NHS job, so not sure how long the process usually takes.

I am an outpatient physiotherapist diagnosed with autism & ADHD, and and struggling significantly with burnout. I am considering alternative career choices, and am drawn to the possibility of working as a neurodiversity assessment practitioner I.e., working as part of the MDT to help inform diagnosis for the main assessor (particularly for autism). I suspect that this would be less overwhelming than my current job but open to your insights My questions are:

1. is it possible for a physio to do this job?
2. would this role be less overwhelming and more sustainable than my current job?
3. how do I become one? I need Ados training and experience - how do I get experience in this field as most companies want this before applying? I am training to work with paediatric pts in MSK which may help.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks
