"People can live a healthy lifestyle regardless of there working hours prepare meals the night before and choose to exercise rather than sit on the couch and eat takeaways I work 2 weeks of 12-14 hour shifts a day and still go to gym at night for a bit can't go hard at it but I still go and do a bit . Stopped smoking in hospital grounds now which I think is excellent nothing worse than seeing people standing outside a workplace smoking if I owned a business I wouldn't allow it looks very unprofessional and nobody wants to deal or be treated by someone who stinks of cigarettes " and nobody would want to work for a two bit dictator how folk decide to live their lives is entirely their choice and certainly not the concern of an employer as long as they live up to their end of the contract job done | |||

"Don't care what the staff look like or what their weight is n body looks like they do a faffin brilliant job" Have to say this is a fantastic comment and was one of my many comments about this I don't care what their weight is aslong as they give the nhs a better name look after people who are in dire need of medical condition why try to change their lifestyle I just thinks it discrimination next they will pray apon sexuality, race. And tbh sometimes weight issues can't be helped I think nhs really need to get their priorities straightened out big time and start using the money wisely on researching and facilities maybe even paying their staff better | |||
 I second that lol. The joys of our nhs. I'm over weight and work non stop doesn't stop me from providing the amazing care I deliver. I spend more time at work that I do anything else. Shift work sucks I have to force myself to the gym after finishing a 14 hour shift then do a work out and before you know it it is time to get up and do it again next morning for a 7am start. I am sure a lot of other nhs staff do the same as it's hard to fit other activities in your daily life on days off and with working a rotation rota with one week nights then days then weekends it's pretty rubbish. Nurses and clinical support workers don't do the job for the long hours or the rubbish pay it's for the passion we have of helping people. You can run a ward with no doctors but you could never run a ward with no nurses or clinical support workers  | |||

You wouldn't want to deal with them because their smokers? Who said dictatorship was dead. | |||

You obviously have a lot of energy! I can only imagine how hard it is for the nurse who just worked a twelve hour shift in a demanding roll to think "yeah, i feel like a work out " or "yeah, can't wait to make dinner"! A bit judgmental i think! | |||

"I am a seafarer so i have to keep my weight down. At my last medical i was told loose weight or loose your job !!! I work strange and un social hours so many industries impose health an weight restrictions on employees." Yes but that is a genuine reason so that in case of having to abandon ship you are able - the NHS example is a bit different because they are being told not to be overweight to 'set an example' rather than it affecting their ability to do the job. | |||
