NHS 'Overseas Patients' debt collector wanted at Haywards Heath

When looking for jobs on the NHS jobs website, (www.jobs.nhs.uk) I found this advert for an 'Overseas Patients Co-ordinator', ie. a debt- collector for people deemed ineligible for treatment by the NHS.

tina.niblett@bsuh.nhs.uk or have a demonstration if they can find out when interviews are held... Read more >>

Hammersmith Goldhawk Road get Total Oil out of Burma protest

Six protestors demonstrated at the Raven Total station on 372 Goldhawk Road, Hammersmith, 30th April. They called on the French oil company to stop funding the military dictatorship with 500 million dollars a year.
