No white coats. Like it or not.

WHAT ABOUT THE MEN? WHAT ABOUT THE DOCTORS?

You are wondering about what the male variety of staff will wear, My Black Cat?

You don’t think they will want haute couture?

You don’t think they will want to be colourful?

You don’t think they will want to make a fashion statement?

Maybe not….

It doesn’t matter much what they wear, My Black Cat. There will be so few of them. NHS hospitals have always had a predominantly female workforce - except for the doctors of course. That will soon change, with the enormous skew in females now coming into medicine. So, the male minority won’t have much say. They can just wear the same garments as the females, whether they like it or not. The majority rules!!!

The male nurses are increasing though. They may become troublesome….

You are also wondering what Level 8 and Level 9 will be wearing.

What colours?

A rainbow only has seven colours………..

Well, Level 9 won’t matter much. They will be the REAL consultants of tomorrow. Medically qualified, highly trained doctors. But they will be much fewer in number than today. They will be carefully chosen and some will be well hidden doing really, really difficult things. The rest will be sitting on committees, teaching, lecturing, managing, administrating, advising, budgeting, traveling up and down the land, and, of course, appearing in court when things go wrong. Dress will not be much of a problem, because they will have Level 8’s in their team who will be doing all the clinical work.

No, we don’t need to worry about Level 9.

Level 8 is more of a problem.

They will be the New Age consultants. Some will call them the Sub-Consultant Grade. But that will be swept below the carpet, of course. They will be called consultants - like level 9. Just like consultant nurses, consultant scientists, consultant dietitians, consultant etc etc…… so Level 8 will be senior staff from a real hotch-potch of backgrounds.

They could wear the colour of the fusion of the rainbow.

White?

The consultants could wear white.

But then the bespectacled Baby Boomers would need to peer at the badge on the chests of the white coloured uniforms in order to see the variety of consultant. They will want to know who the doctors are. They will want to know who is responsible for their care. They will want a senior doctor responsible for diagnosing their condition. They will want a senior doctor deciding how to treat their condition. They might even want a Level 9 super-doctor to be responsible for their care. The Baby Boomers are funny like that. Just wait till they start to get ill. They changed the world. They will challenge the NHS, DOH and HMG if they feel they are being short changed.

Do you suppose our Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Health know how assertive Baby Boomers can be?

How larger than life they are?

They should, My Black Cat.

For they are First Generation Baby Boomers.

Leading Edge Baby Boomers.

Both of them.
