I'm not sure about that. What the NHS are doing now, because they can't get nurses/midwives is when people retire they are being offered 10 hours work a week, on top of their NHS pension. They are not taxed on their 10 hour a week work and apparently it doesn't affect their pension. I know a few people currently doing this, as they are still paying mortgages etc. Unless I am absolutely brassic, I shan't bother doing the 10 hours a week. Most NHS ward work is frantic due to lack of staff, but that kind of work, night shifts and running around like a headless chicken is for young people. I am starting to find nights increasingly difficult and I'm only 36.
