Well, to be honest, it doesn't make sense to have licensed vehicles that only work 7-9 am and 2.30-4.30 pm, during term time only.

That said, I'm not sure many of the drivers who are used to working the above hours will be too keen to cover any hospital night work.

And when doctors or theatre staff need to get into the hospital, they need to go straight away, not wait for drivers to wake up and get dressed first.

Many of them will be outpatient appointments during school runs, so they'll need more cars and more drivers.

Also, these jobs often mean picking up at 5.00 am, and as late as 10.00 pm.

Renal/Dialysis is 7 days a a week 7am-11pm only day off is NYD

each machine does 3 patients a day (plus clean/prep between)

kept me busy for years


Hemodialysis: A machine pumps your blood through an artificial filter (called a dialyzer) to clean it before returning it to your body. This is usually done 3 times a week for about 4 hours per session
