Absolutely vile. No unjabbed workers have the right to work for the nhs.
We need to get tough on this matter. Anyone unjabbed without a medical exemption should have an extra 40 percent tax on their wages. We sure could use the money to help the refugees build a better life. Any medical professionals refusing should be sacked on the spot and refused any nhs care in the future.
Makes my piss boil does this.
There is more too this than health. Staff levels and of course libel cases- my relatives were treated by an unvaccinated hospital staff member and they contracted covid and died. They are both the kind of scenario that they fear.
Good, the NHS wouldn’t be able to cope if 10’s of thousands left, which a lot have already left.
Good. In the context of 93% of NHS staff vaccinated, 98% of us having antibodies and Omicron being less severe than Delta, this is the right move.
All the people who are disappointed at this avoidance of a defacto cut in NHS staffing levels in England – a cut brought in by Tories no less – should take a long hard look at themselves.
If you don’t believe in modern medicine then you really shouldn’t be working in the medical industry.
In addition risking the health of the patients being treated is not acceptable.
Were on the road to idiocracy, always have been but now the fog is clearing. Healthcare workers no longer need to believe in science, hygiene or any pesky regulations that get in the way of quality care.

It is the year 2077, and Antivaxxers have won the political stand-off. Humanity is faced with challenges of rife disease, but with enough ignorance we managed to ignore the terrible state of affairs, take our happy pills and soldier on!

BRITANNIA STANDS!
Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of the vaccine mandate in the first place, it’s absolutely irresponsible to be doing this just three working days before the deadline and once again leaked to the press before official communication?!
My heart absolutely breaks.
For the HR staff who have spent weeks and months combing through records and supported managers with or had themselves difficult conversations with colleagues who were uncertain and concerned about the jab. Absolutely no-one wants to be in a position of looking at dismissal of either clinical or non-clinical colleagues.
For vaccinated colleagues’ worry and stress caused to our vaccinated colleagues about the thought of losing valued members of the team – many of whom are friends – and the thought of having to cope in an even more understaffed position, and the managers and leaders being kept up at night worrying about already precarious staffing positions getting worse.
For unvaccinated staff who have been worrying about their future jobs and where they are going to find food to put on the table, whilst being put in a position where many people have felt singled out, unsupported and bullied by colleagues for being unvaccinated.
For those who were unvaccinated and felt pressured to have the jab as they were expecting the mandate to come into play in less than a week – the breakdown in trust and pressure people who were genuinely worried for their future health / fertility or whatever their held belief was that meant that they were not vaccinated – no-one should feel pressured and what an appalling breach of trust to push people to a point of having the jab and then taking away the imperative.
~~For social care staff who were forced to leave because of the mandate. Yet another example of social care being undervalued – it was already appalling a mandate was brought in for social care but not the NHS – but this is a further insult. In my system if I could hire 200 more workers – I’d give them to social care, not our acute hospitals – how many more times can we undervalue these critical staff?~~
What an absolute shambles.
Edit: At least the cancellation announcement says it applies to social care too – although the threat of losing NHS staff clearly means more to politicians than losing the equivalent amount of social care staff
It can’t end actually. Because it hasn’t started. Something that never starts can’t end. That’s why this stupid bullshit feels like it has been going on so long.
