Miss_S_83 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Navy Blue- Sisters/Charge Nurses Lilac- Staff Nurse White with fine pinstripe I think and light blue piping- Support Worker Plain white with light blue piping- Student Nurses I get mixed up then- there's an orangey colour, a green colour and a burgundy colour whic are housekeeps, domestics etc but I always get mixed up who's who. In Rotherham it wasn't the nurses who wore lilac but either the housekeeper or the domestic which was confusing, and the nurses there have a white and blue fine pinstripe uniform with navy piping, the support workers had the same tunic/dress but with lighter blue piping. I think everyone should be in scrubs of their own colour choice In all seriousness, it would be sensible to have all the same across the country, save confusion.

JFKvsNixon Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I assume the NHS supplies the uniforms, do they pay for the cleanings also ? Most hospitals supply a cleaning facility, where you hand a dirty uniform in and they give you one of your clean ones. If the hospitals don't supply this facility you can claim the cleaning cost back on your tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGB1 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Its a nightmare moving hospitals every 6 months...different hospitals have different uniforms/colours for different roles. I ignore the colour and go straight for the name badge - unforunately most people seem to wear it at waist level or on their chest so I'm forever staring at crotches and bosoms.
