@NHS_HealthEdEng
How much notice to start?
3 months.
Why do I need to do a new form every time I rotate?
So your School, LEO and team aware/pay.
How do I go full-time again?
3 – 6 months notice, complete and submit a form, and let your school know in
advance
Out of hours and daytime percentage is different
Which counts towards CCT
Where do I get information?
