What the petition asks
It takes a big support team to ensure all aspects of the contract are met in order to reach all expectations
On behalf of myself and all friends and colleagues in our profession I need to ask you a very important question
WHY ARE WE NOT ENTITLED TO AN NHS PENSION IN LINE WITH GP SURGERY STAFF?
On behalf of myself and all friends and colleagues in our profession I need to ask you a very important question
WHY ARE WE NOT ENTITLED TO AN NHS PENSION IN LINE WITH GP SURGERY STAFF?
My team consists of many highly skilled members.
Each year we fulfil our NHS contracts.
We are entitled to NHS blue light cards, NHS cover letters to travel to and from work, NHS bonus Scheme
We are either NHS or we are not?
We deal with the same Health Boards following all protocols.
In this modern world NHS contracts are not achievable by one-person i.e., the Dentist and we would like this to be recognised. We feel we are equal to GP surgeries.
