      Pros

      Training opportunities in training posts were good when they happened. Good multidisciplinary approach to medicine in all fields. Important lessons learnt through such varied case management.

      Cons

      Training opportunities were like hens teeth. More a case of service provision. Night shifts were under supported at times and juniors are often left to manage huge numbers of patients without adequate support.

      Pros

      being able to make a difference to patients stay, doing the best you can with your time and personal values. Making every patient feel as if they are unique and treating all as individuals. The tiniest thing act of kindness can make the difference to the patient and family of a persons stay in hospital. Often there is not enough people on the ground and when you have a good team of people all working together with the same values and mind set it makes a difference to everyone's day. There are no perks to working for the NHS except YOU can make a difference to making someone's day better if you treat people as you would like to be treated No matter what.

      Cons

      Not enough staff, too many managers managing managers. Having to practically beg for the most basic of poor quality items to do your job well. Too much pressure from the top who only seem to want to demoralize the staff who are still working and taking pride in their part to play in this large machine, where only targets seem to matter. Leadership seems to be minimal for the lowest on the NHS ladder. Nurses having to go without breaks for both eating and toilet breaks especially if they have patients scoring high on tracking scores. Imagine not even daring to go for a wee??? Having to work 13 hours so if staffing allows you get two half hour breaks. Working on a ward with 25/26 beds all full and there only being two qualified nurses and one N/A to support all of these. Or a 52 bed ward with only ONE housekeeper on each side to clean the ward, all the bathrooms and deliver 3 meals to each and every patient.
