Can I just echo that the staff at the children’s a&e are bloomin awesome. 
 

I’ve had to take my boy a couple of times and each visit all the staff were a credit to the nhs and their profession. 
 

thank you.

Yeah my lead support worker's had to take her 2 year old up there quite a few times, and she can't fault them! And as mentioned, way back when I was a little 'un I spent a LOT of hours in there back in the late 70s, I have fond memories of watching the kids' TV of the time.

The Nurse won’t have been doing a 24 hour shift. 
It goes against the Working Time Directive and would therefore be illegal.

You have to have at least 11 hours continuous rest between each 12 hour shift..

 

I believe it's common in the care sector for an employer to ask an employee to waive their rights to the WTD. Many care providers would struggle to fill shift requirements if this constraint was in place.

I've had first hand experience that the majority of care companies have very limited staff, because no qualfied carers want to work LONG hours for pennies more than minimum wage.

 

So they tend to employ Fred or Joe Bloggs from down the job centre, basically anyone who can pass a basic DBS disclosure, especially if they can drive.
