I am certain you can appeal against any points raised in appraisal that you don't think are fair. Ask them to review that issue as you had genuine reason for that.

That is utterly disgusting Jennifer. Surely they should of taken into consideration the situation. Although when my hubby got out of the army he was going to join the ambulance service as a paramedic,( he served 24 years and did 20 as a medic) and he went and did all the written tests and passed them all 100%. When he went to do the practical exam, he was suffering with a dental abscess, and it burst the morning of the exam,
He did all the other parts of the exam but when it came to doing the resuscitation exam, he informed the tester what had happened and they wouldn't let him continue because, as they said, it might cause cross-contamination. Afterwards they told him that he would of got in, no problems, if he had done the resuscitation test. They told him to come back the following year. He got another job instead and didn't bother going back.


Some people think that rules and regs are more important than experience.

Crap day for you too. Yes that was understandable you couldn't stay. I think it's just an excuse not to give full marks they don't like to do that xxx Bless you Gillian

Had my appraisal today. I had marked excellent for time keeping and training. Never ever late for work, had 1 day off sick in two years, cos Son had crash, plus 5 days annual leave when Stephen died. I got a good from boss, when I asked how this was, she said training downfall. I said I have always attended training on time, even on my days off. She said, yes but you had to leave one. It was about resussitation, (spelling) I could not stay as it made me think of the hour they spent trying to keep Stephen with us, and that has give me a bad mark, I think not, crap or what?
