Hello Im back! I live in glasgow but work in industry so no hospital to show you but could meet you and show you around Chris

hi, i'm an occ health nurse in scotland and we dont have the litigation issue you have in the u.s recently we had an issue regarding tools that our guys use, and the fact some of the guys are not to use tools due to vibration white finger, because there not on tools there overtime is restricted so there losing money, they offered to sign wavers saying they were aware of the damage they could be doing to themselves and that they would not hold the firm responsible, disscussions took place between myself, company doc and health and safety officer we dicided that we would still be liable even if they signed wavers as we knew we would be putting the workers in situations that would be detrimental to there health and in a court of law we would be seen as the responsible person. so think i would be careful about what i would let people opt out of.

hi, firstly i'm sorry that you have been having problems, but dont not go an see the psychiatrist to keep it from your notes things may only get worse, people with mental health problems are protected under the DDA, somewhere in the back of my mind there is something about potential employers actually not being able to make an issue of it, but if you have lost a lot a time of work that could be another issue, i'm not in work until Wednesday so cant look it up for you till then but i'm sure if you do a search for the Disability Discrimination Act you'll find something in it to put your mind at ease.

aargh your a hoop fan no.........................

hey Karen, I never realised that you were living in such a dangerous place, i'm so grateful i live in Glasgow, I think the safest thing for you to do would be to move yourselve and Calum up here, the only thing that you have to worry bout is the colour of your shirt, blue or green, cant do anything bout reducing your hours workload would be just the same up here

ok whisper time off allowed seeing your putting it to good work MRSA but remember to include the goverments latest thoughts on hospital infection they want nurses to clean there own wards, in the olden days before you were born we did that and oops no infections, but now i wanna know how its expected to find time to do it

i have a nice coat karen, and if needed i will button but as i pointed out .............roughie toughie :rotfl:

i live just outside glasgow, the weather in march is probably gonna be wet and cold and maybe snow but we've had freaky weather last couple of years so you may get sun, theres plenty of things to do even if the weather is bad but then i'm a roughie toughie woman of the Clyde :chuckle (nurse in a shipyard)

thanks for the link i'll maybe claim that beer it looks like a good walk

i'm so chuffed with myself last week i did the West Highland Way from start to finish 95miles over some of the best countryside in the world (i'm slightly biast here as i'm a scot) and after you've walked the 95 miles you get to climb Ben Nevis, and the only injury i'v got is a few midge bites, i'm waiting for photo's and will post them, cause i know when you see them you'll all want to do it

naughty naughty thought mercury had been banned posioning and all that i replaced all mine at amazing cost :chuckle mind you, you could always break one over the head of a patient you don't like (accidently of course)

if you look employment and the law they are not allowed to use it but i will get you a web address on thurs when i'm in work, there have been court cases where employers have lost when they have referred to previous illnesses

well done you, you'll love it before I went into OCC Health that was my job I worked in CCu and loved it. Calls for a party I think :balloons:

cause i'm having trouble posting email me [email protected]
