Wes, it's not rocket science just don't pay a doctor £17.60 an hour when they are in £100k worth of student debt.
If you a member of the public that thinks that's acceptable go ring a plumber and offer them double that an hour and see if you get your leak fixed.

If you’ve ever wondered about NHS information governance and employment tribunals, do read this by @tommygreene.bsky.social on the case of Dr Chris Day. Multiple disclosure failings, the attempted destruction of 94,000 emails. Yet still the judge found for the employer.
As a UK taxpayer why do I have to put up with a Judge ignoring large amounts of evidence and even ignoring evidence being destroyed?
