They want to pursue their interests in OPD's, various 'oscopies etc. The SpR's coming through are even worse. We had one who said she didn't see any reason why she should be on the arrest team as the SHO could run arrests! Besides you can forget about minor injuries - nurse practitioners will be seeing those. Much cheaper than an A&E consultant. Best go collect your P45 now!!
