Congratulations on your NHS job! I’m sorry to hear about your injury. I recommend contacting the HR department or the person who offered you the role as soon as possible. Explain your injury and recovery timeline, and discuss any concerns or the need for adjustments or a delayed start. Keeping them informed will help ensure they can support you.

Hi @Shruas firstly, just wanted to say congratulations on your job! I have to agree with @MW123, contacting HR, or the person who you'll be reporting into initially to raise these concerns is the best idea. With it being the NHS, I'd like to think they'll support any accessibility requirements that you have.

Please let us know how you get on if you're happy to. 🙂

Best wishes,
