Or is your job a little more that plain medical electronics? Robert _________________________ My body is a Temple. An old decaying structure that not many people visit these days.

Could this, then, be the answer we are looking for? $\:\)$

KM KM Sage Registered: 30/08/01 Posts: 516 Loc: CTC	Those that know me will be aware of my anti tie stance. Apart from a personal dislike of the affore mentioned garment I dont think it makes pepole look any smarter or authoritive, its all in the mind. Some people wear suits and ties for everything and they dont look any more smart than the bod who wears clean and tidy casual clothes, in fact some might think that people who wear uniformaty type clothing may lack personal image thats why they follow others (just an opinion right or wrong?). As for the dress code here we have a mix of tie with suit, tie with shirt, no tie I think all our staff have equal smartness and all are capable of displaying the brain power to dress themselves without the need for militarian uniformaty.

leonius leonius Savant Registered: 17/06/03 Posts: 104 Loc: UK	The hard hat is for working in maintenance corridors or on the roof. P.s maintenance corridors are used for nurse call, hospital radio and data services between wards. Roof activities include aerial erecting testing and maintenance Inc satellite and inter hospital laser link. Some of the older parts of the hospital have been here since the thirties and access corridors are more like tunnels.

Tudor Tudor Dreamer Registered: 04/03/04 Posts: 21 Loc: Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells ...	We have been informed that we should wear shirt, tie and smart trousers but no 'chinos'. We are issued with safety shoes both for theatre (white) and other location work. Our Works Dept wear polo shirts or shirts and sweatshirts with the Trust Logo on the chest.

Mike Wood Mike Wood Dreamer Registered: 05/05/03 Posts: 28 Loc: The Heart & Lung Centre, Wolve...	I'm definitely with the smart dress/professionalism brigade. Guess I'm a natural tie-wearer (Latin geekus grosso) However, when I used to work in/on/for our CCU I wore scrubs, purely because the unit was so warm, and scrubs really are soooo comfortable to work in! Perhaps we should look at getting some scrubs with PCBs printed on 'em - that'd look professional, eh??? _________________________ Respect is a wage, not a commodity.
