MTO3s were banded a 6 here as I ensured that the job description highlighted the fact that we were specialist technicians working in anaesthesia delivery and patient ventilation systems. Also emphasised in the knowledge and training factor that we were graduate equivalent with specialist training through short courses, + 5 years experience.
No decision been made about the R&R premia yet but as lead Amicus rep on site I will be negotiating with the SMT here very soon.
