EBME Forums Forums Management Equipment Libraries Banding

Yes, you're right. But I know that many "users" don't open their eyes too widely!


The ones I have in mind (and one individual in particular) is far too busy rushing about the hospital (causing mayhem in general, and hounding the biomeds in particular) to do anything constructive like contributing to debates on internet forums! Thinking about it, I doubt that she even allows herself to turn the computer on (she won't have been on the course, you understand).

But gateways? I'm having great difficulty in restraining myself from making "farmyard" comments here!

I believe my point has been emphasised by the Liecester job that has been posted today. Minimum 3 years experience? Should be a Band 6 surely?

Why? How many Brownie Points do you get for 35 years experience, then?

Band 7 or possibly 8a Geoff. Unless you have a PhD, then you'll will probably be able to get on 8b or c, effectively a consultant.

In case you were wondering

Unless I can get Band 57 then I won't be applying!

assuming there was a band 57, your salary would blow the nhs trust's budget in a year or less.

Considering that it seems we're paying between £ 21 to 27 k a year for people to collect and deliver medical equipment around a hospital, that sounds to me like the tax-payers would be getting their money's worth at long last!

Are we performing public service?

There is a need to balance between being professional for delivering the needed service and how much you are rewarded for doing this. Money is not always the motivating factor I think.

Have you any experience of the attitudes that prevail in Modern Britain, Roger?

No? Ah, I thought not.
