Dear all,
As everyone is aware, we provide a lot of YNiC technician operator cover
whilst also training YNiC users to be operators themselves. This works
well for everyone as it balances workloads for YNiC technicians and
provides more flexibity in scanning for those users who are trained to
be an operator.
Part of the operator training process requires the trainee to attend and
scan across multiple sessions to ensure they are of the standard we
expect before being 'signed off'. There is no official policy on this,
but as a centre we would expect those who are going through this process
to attend as many sessions as possible on their lab projects to speed up
the training process. On a few occasions recently, trainees have not
been scanning on projects run by their labs (e.g., for MSc projects),
which increases workload for YNiC technicians.
I am therefore emailing to ask everyone to try to engage with training
as much as possible. If a project is running in the lab and you are
being trained, please try to ensure you are attending as many of these
sessions as you can. This is of benefit for yourself and the YNiC staff,
and ensures we are providing operator cover more equitably across labs.
As always, if there are circumstances that might this difficult, come to
talk to us and we will do our best to help and support you. Finally, if
you are unsure about the above and how it relates to you or members of
your lab, again please come and talk to us.
Best wishes,
Aidan

Dear All,
FYI for all those currently scanning: we currently only have one changing
room available for use. The nurse call alarm is not functioning in the
cubicle which is closed and has a "Do not use" sign on the door.
With thanks from,
