Apart from a couple on the front row, all the others are "FAT" in the modern NHS photograph.
Where is the leader (Matron)?
They look, in their uniforms that they work for Kwikfit and will change your tyres.
Not a good advert frt the modern nursing profession......OR..perhaps it is?

LOL....let me give you an example where presentation IS important.
A fat nurse came an put up a drip and you quite rightly said that her appearance was not an issue.
Now, supposing that the same nurse put up your IV and in this case, 24hours later it became painful, you started to get rigors, your temperature rose, you lapsed into unconsciousness and your condition deteriorated to such an extent that your we transferred to ICU.At the end of the episode of septicaemia brought about by the I.V you decided to take legal action.
The presecuting council would convert your "Angel of Mercy" into a washerwoman from Grimsby,...fat unkempt, dirty finger nails, unfit for the job...all maybe untrue....or partially untrue.....but would be presented as such.
That is the importance of LOOKS in medicine......when the going gets tough.

Totally see where you are coming from Sqad. Unfortunately in todays litigious society one needs to be aware of any trick the pond life lawyers will use and try and avoid it. Appearance is ofthen one of the tricks.
I dont thing the uniform is so bad, the old fashioned ones as in the picture cannot have been easy to work in and would they pitch up to Court in the uniform (would you have pitched up in your scrubs?)
However the overweight think is a problem. The NHS is about to have a major problem with obesity, it will probably be the straw that breaks the camels back. Those in the medical profession need to be smarter about it since, as written above, preaching about it when you yourself are not right is a no no.
What I did find odd is that most hospital visits and operation for me have been in private hospitals. It quite took me by surprise when visiting people in NHS ones how may big boned staff were on.
