And in Gozo even worse. If a nurse goes to bring his duty shoes from the store, he will be informed that they have no shoes of his size.
Nurses were entitled yearly as way back 1975 one for the winter time and another one for summer, a shoe and three pairs of socks.

The problem with hospital uniforms is that every profession must have its distinct uniform to look different from other professionals. I find this highly amateur. One Hospital...One uniform for all health professionals.

I know some are going to write that in UK this is how it work. But in mainland Europe its one uniform for all.

This is yet another example of how much we need to change certain local practices.

As has been pointed out, on what should have been a non issue, a large workers union threatens industrial action, the relevant government department threatens to call in the police over the entire affair, which action said union now agrees with!

I simply cannot understand how we get ourselves into this type of issue.

If nurses are entitled to uniforms they should be issued them - end of story.

Let’s concentrate on treating patients
