Shift Pattern Consultation extended until 23 October

Following discussions with our Trade Union colleagues, the current shift pattern consultation period has been extended to give colleagues more time to review the proposals and share their views.

The consultation, which was due to close on 30 September 2026, will now remain open until Friday 23 October 2026. This extension has been agreed to ensure that everyone who wishes to take part has sufficient opportunity to do so.

We recognise that colleagues may wish to discuss the proposals in more detail before providing feedback. The additional time will allow more opportunities for staff to:

• Request a discussion with their line manager
• Submit feedback through the consultation feedback form
• Review the information available on the consultation hub

All feedback received during the consultation period will be carefully considered before any recommendations are developed. No final decisions have been made.

Thank you to everyone who has already taken the time to engage with the consultation process.
