A good knowledge of employment law is an essential attribute for all human resources practitioners. For HR professionals working in the National Health Service, that knowledge has to be combined with an understanding of the many special arrangements which apply in the NHS. Employment Law in the NHS has been written by employment lawyers, from Eversheds, who have advised NHS employing bodies for many years, and is a straightforward manual explaining employment law as it applies in the health service.
It includes chapters which look specifically at NHS-related employment law issues, including special health service terms of employment, and the special dismissal procedures relating to doctors, as well as chapters covering general aspects of employment law but placed in the context of the NHS, such as equal pay and redundancy.
The book provides useful and practical guidance on all areas of employment law, and so each chapter both outlines the law and gives key pointers on how the law works in the real NHS world.
Employment Law in the NHS will guide you through all aspects of employment law as it applies in the NHS and will become the indispensible guide to employment law for any HR professional working in the healthcare sector.
