    Anyone working in the NHS during the COVID19 pandemic?

    Just a quick post at the moment that I am about to start on Tuesday for a NHS Trust; It has been a long time since I last set foot back in NHS as I as moved on to other government bodies for contracting but a question to everyone here is how are you finding work at the moment and any experiences or advice?

    I am working for the Irish equivalent (I did previously spend 6 years employed then 10 years contracting in NHS).

    It's very hectic. I've been working six days per week, long days. My client has agreed to pay me on an hourly basis, so I work 10 hours and bill for 1.25 days. See if you can arrange something similar.

    There is however a great sense of purpose, as you would imagine.

        I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

            Currently in an NHS Trust in London.

            Its manic.
            All the projects are on pause or slowed down so I switched roles (with a new contract) to help with general IT support as they are short on staff. At the moment its not about the projects but all hands on deck just keeping the lights on and ensuring the front line are up and running ok, be it working remotely or in the wards with the kit they need.
