I honestly see that the way that staffing issues are now going to hit the speciality most depts will be delighted to grab anybody. The new generic SHO is going to impact with a vengeance and the staff-grades are departing the A&E departments at a rate of knots for £15 to £20K more in GP land as well as the £10K loyalty bonus.
I have been trying to get our trust to give our Staff-grades and Associate Specialists DP's but they won't agree to it. When they all go and we have to re-employ locum staff-grades at £200K a year they might get the message.
