We had better remind everyone tuning in that we are talking about Equipment Libraries (the shared equipment store and distribution thereof) here.

No so, in actual fact. I know of quite a few Equipment Libraries where ex-nurses dominate! smile

And, lastly (I hope) no-one was "being castigated for pursuing qualifications". The point being made is that enhanced education (or whatever) does not (and, indeed, should not) automatically mean an increase in remuneration. In other words:- "same job, same pay"!

And (finally), when people apply for re-banding, do they also run the risk of being down-graded? Perhaps it would be much fairer for all concerned (including, I might add, the tax-payer) if everyone was re-banded each year. Just about the time of the annual assessment should do it (I presume there is an annual assessment)!
