Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 254-2122
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find our response below.
My name is Katie King. I have just started working
for Hallam Medical Nursing Agency as an
Emergency Nurse Practitioner.
The Agency sent my application to
Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation
Trust for approval to work in their MIiU’s when
needed.
I completely understand that any application/cv
may or may not be accepted, but seeing that I
have all the qualifications needed to work there, I
was at a total loss when I was advised that my
application had been refused.
Under the Freedom of Information Act I would like
to know the reasons for this refusal and also who
made this refusal.
Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation
Trust have gone through the recruitment folder
relating to bank shifts for our MIiU settings.
We can confirm you do have the qualifications
required to work within our MIiU settings.
Regarding Trust vacancies for our MIiU settings,
we receive numerous applications on a daily basis.
Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS FT work with
a variety of agencies and receive CVs/Applications
directly from Agencies and from our own internal
Bank Team. Both avenues are used when trying to
fill shifts throughout all our MIiU settings.
We’re sorry to say that on this occasion your
application was unsuccessful.
Thank you for your interest in our organisation.
