you will miss christmases, birthdays, and possibly other events

you will also fall out with a lot of your previous friends, because you will see things from an insiders perspective tbh, especially if they went college or uni 🤔

I have a lot of respect for the military. Bit jealous of some of the benefits though.

Like I said I left at the start of December, i've had about 6 letters from the military and organisations telling me what i'm entitled too and wishing me all the best <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Gotta make the most of it.

Long distance relationships never work

Lmao

guardian opinion is "imploring people to stop using private healthcare"

"pls millionaires and well off people! stop using your private healthcare and leech off the state"

guardian opinion is poop

To be fair that is the exact argument they should be making

The NHS is a requirement for the poor as clearly evidenced by the rich not using it

their argument is that nhs staff are moving over to private healthcare facilities

Which is half true

As they should be

Because private healthcare is better for staff and patients

Private sector nurses are worse off though

And doctors are dependent

Not sure about that.

at the end of the day.. if more people use private.. they are still paying into the system... so theres less strain on the NHS but the same money going in

They have better wages by far.

Also emergency services are still NHS controlled

Nurses definitely don't

They do, it's why nurses are leaving to go private.

They aren't though

They are though.

I dunno about the wages... but the benefits will be better.. i.e better pension

They try it and then they go back to the NHS

Its why they're trying to do everything they can to avoid losing nurses.

Pension is better through NHS- they get a state one <:shrug:349342983763656705>

possible better wages on a per hour basis

Its the same reason the NHS clings onto doctors

Even though doctors (by right/law) should not be entitled to a public pension

no nhs people get final salary pensions

my aunt works in the nhs .. shes got a final salary pension

also she get it at 55 .. and thats when she can retire too

she works on the mental wards

That is the same for large chunks of the public sector (that put in lifetime careers)
