It was announced in the hospital that we had to start loosing staff to save money:
"to then identify particular at risk posts within each area. In order to ensure there is no impact on front line services the pool of staff at risk of redundancy will not include front line clinical posts, such as nurses, doctors and allied health professionals. Individuals at risk will include managers and administrative staff at all levels, particularly from corporate functions, based on the pool comprised of those with less than 24 months continuous NHS service."
[My emphasis]
Two people from Medical Physics were made redundant - fortunately one post was successfully fought and was withdrawn from the list.
They were not "managers and administrative staff" but technical people.
Beware of cuts that are occuring across the country, it seems that even though we think our roles are vital we seem not to be included in the group "front line clinical posts"
