No. When I worked for the NHS it was also a disciplinary issue to wear uniform outside of my working environment.
it is not true of all agencies that supply though, some pay less ..as they dont supply ex trained NHS, the training is not to NHS standard. Apologies for not answering the crux of the question ... had to answer an emergency so hit post [ keep forgetting! when I leave it ] ... When you see the "march " pics etc you get a hint at the diversity of those that attended, in the circumstances it was inappropriate and not at all well organised for people in an enviroment of close maybe intensive care [HOSPITALS ]. They should have least observed SD and PPE .. and listened when they were told they were getting regraded pay wise ...

Given that is supposedly Bristol born and bred you'd think he'd be able to see the bigger picture, but clearly not.

I see overnight in Portland Oregon, 'protestors' toppled the statues of Lincoln and Roosevelt. Absolutely crazy now, isn't this how Pol Pot's reign of terror began in Cambodia?, erasing all history and starting at year zero? and killing the odd 7 million people along the way?
