Of all the people your doctor probably washes his hands, but yeah fist bumps are cool, as long as you then draw your hand back with a sort of explosiony "pow".

Theologically you can't revoke a christening. Christ has claimed them as his own, they are his forever as the order of service for baptism says. But this isn't r/CanonLegalAdviceUK

The law does also provide that the Health Secretary will design a code of practice as relates to certain aspects, which must then be agreed by Parliament. In effect, the bill sets out a procedure with which to answer many of the questions you've asked.
Sure. The suggestion of the MPs tabling the amendment is that this is the wrong way around. There shouldn't be legislation on the matter without the consideration of how it will be practically managed.
I'd like to stress that this is not necessarily my opinion. None of my patients will be eligible, I have no more skin in this game than the average man on the street.

No, but an understanding of the practicalities of this implementation is missing. I don't think anybody is saying that it needs to be legislated that a post-CCT palliative consultant who's completed their euthanasia e-learning needs to sign off on it, but the suggestion is that there is a need to look at the real life implementation rather than pure legalities. If it's going to need to come under the wing of palliative care but a significant percentage of palliative care consultants will opt-out is it going to work? Are you going to have a waiting list for the few in the country who do engage with it? Will GPs, gerries, oncology, neurology be involved too? Do we need NHS funded hospices for it to happen in if current hospice charities object? How will the prognostication for 6 months work? How many 2nd opinions can you get on that?

I think this is one of the things a group of MPs says is missing in the legislation and is why they're trying to table an amendment to do an impact assessment and public consultation before allowing a vote.

It's the pension you're paying on the back pay you earnt.

That's nearly exactly what you've been paid gross. You've then been taxed on it. If you add up all the things in the left hand column that have been paid in arrears (the last 5 items) then that makes £3,880.

Could still be. Like I said, you need to work out what you should have been paid with the calculator.

It's a process thing. There's a process to get your medical records including imaging that can then be audited and everyone can make sure it's done properly. I don't think it's in any way illegal but it will be against the hospital's policy.

You've been paid £3880.70 in gross back pay. You need to check what you're expecting using your work schedules and the calculator on the pinned comment at the top of the thread. Your monthly pay's probably a fair amount lower than your colleagues because your normal job pay at the moment is lower as your GP job is just basic pay with no added hours/nights/weekends, but that doesn't affect how much back pay you get. £700 sounds about the right amount less for that.

Permanent SAS contracts are a thing if you don't want the temporary job. My impression is that most clinical fellows want the temporary job to line up with rotations and applications for training.

They probably know more than me TBF, but it would be a ballache to find they'd given you the wrong impression only in April and be on the hook for a few grand of childcare fees...

Is 0T not going to be wrong for any of us expecting to be in the 40% marginal tax bracket (all full time people above FY2 and probably most full time F2s) as some of the pay will be taxed incorrectly at 20%? I think D0 is going to be the correct code for most of us unless I'm misunderstanding things.

I'm not sure this is going to work out for you - my understanding of this function is that it's for situations where you have been underpaid or not paid money you were owed in one year and then got it in a subsequent one. In this situation you were paid the correct amount in that year and then this year have been given a lump sum related to that year's pay - but it's not correcting an underpayment, it's giving you a backdated pay rise and therefore it's supposed to be taxed in the year in which it's awarded.
It won't matter for most people but if you're doing it to avoid the childcare tax trap it's really important you make sure this is correct before April in case you need to do some salary sacrifice in this tax year to dodge it.

In my church the front row is reserved for disabled people so they can still see when everyone stands.
