Comments regarding mobilisation:


Whilst I felt adequately prepared for mobilisation, much of the skillset that I needed had been gained over years of service within other military organisations. If I had deployed with only what the RAF had given me, it would have been an even steeper learning curve in theatre and consequently a longer time period before I became effective.


Employer concerned that being away will affect my return to work and the skills required to continue in the business.


Short notice mobilisation (2 weeks’ notice) Difficult to arrange childcare at such short notice.


Had to fight the Regular CoC at every turn. Treated like children and constantly felt like we were in the way.


My previous regular experience was not taken into account by the Sqn I deployed with. Had it been I would have been of more value to them. When do I get to go?


My clinical skills and knowledge are not used by the RAF. There is a general failure by the military to use the senior qualifications for nurses in emergency care and practitioner roles in secondary care.
