I work in a hospital and I'm there just going about my work when I get the below sent.. asking me to list all my skills and other non-work related skills, I did mention the rear wheel drive conversion but I'm not sure it'll be too useful in an amulance :)

World Health Organisation estimates indicate that an influenza pandemic will result, affecting the United Kingdom, with the evidence suggesting that it will be sooner rather than later.
In the event of an official announcement of an influenza pandemic, the planning assumption is that up to 50% of staff will be absent for a period of the pandemic. This will be combined with a significant increase in the demand for hospital services. As a result, increased demand combined with potentially decreased supply presents a significant risk to the maintenance of services. Accordingly, it is imperative that each NHS Trust has in place a robust plan to most effectively utilise available manpower.

Sounds like they are giving all those lazy "sick note" culture workers the green light to take a few weeks off on the sick!!
