Our scrunchie assortment is made up of three styles, red velvet/white trim edge, snowflake windmill scrunchie and windmill with bells. Again, 12 assorted on a clipstrip. Christmas Hair Clips In the run-up to Christmas, about three months in advance, staffing rotas will be inspected to find out who gets to see their family and who gets to work (the staffing is the same as at any other time of year). You’ll find previously warm-hearted nurses capable of the most Machiavellian manoeuvring in an effort to get the “big day” off and spend some time with their family. Barry, John (August 2, 1982).

Once upon a time, a national supermarket chain would give the local ambulance station a little hamper. This is a tradition that I’d like to see continued.

It’s very distracting to see a nurse giving chest compressions with a pair bouncing around on her head. We should always, always, take them off when breaking bad news to relatives. a b c d e f "It's the umbrella that fits on your head". The Tuscaloosa News. Associated Press. July 2, 1982. p.12 .

Over the Christmas period, homeless organisations like to gather them all in one place to keep them warm and fed. Although they often provide health services at their shelters, it still increases the burden of work on local hospitals and the ambulance service, which has to transport them between shelter and hospital. On the positive side, it does give the hospitals a chance to catch some rather nasty stuff early on. If you’re the kind of person who thinks, “It’s Christmas – A&E will be empty,” and comes in to have their verruca treated, you are wrong. Here’s a hint: many of the alternatives to A&E are closed at Christmas, so if you find it hard getting a GP appointment normally it’s not going to be any easier over the holiday period.
