The NHS one is the one I want, no doubt. I worked for them for five years, left for a job with an ISP - and now they are offering me a fantastic package should I want to return

Must be a good thing, and means I was clearly valued before!

I've not had a written offer, the email was just to ask if I wanted it, and said they were extremely keen to get me in the team.

Nothing is confirmed, and I won't be making any decisions until it is.

They have asked me to meet them next week to discuss

Go to the meeting, you have nothing to lose, wait till the NHS job is confirmed before advising the other company anything. But point out to the NHS folk that you have already accepted another job, so need a decision from them very quick.

Just bare in mind the downsizing and efficiency improvements that the NHS is going to have to do shortly.........

Maybe last in first out...  however they could see you as an asset and diminish some of ther underperforming dross first...

Congrats, Go with your gut feeling

You should be in the driving seat here, but do try to be certain that the NHS is not just trying to make a short term fix for some particular reason.
Do everything in accordance with your contractual obligations, but remember it's your career which is at stake. It's going to be a hard decision, but put your own interests first.
First rule of survival in the modern job market, rightly or wrongly.
Good luck.

Haven't they been doing that for the last 3 years?

I think they called it "Agenda for Change..."

Take the job you have accepted, I'm sure you said in the other post that it had a 3 or 6 month probation period.  That is a 2-way thing, if things don't work out (or the NHS job is offered)  you can just walk away - normally a week notice required that is rarely enforced.

Unfortunatly mate you are the only one that can decide what to do..........go with you instinct mate.

With all the cutbacks going off in the NHS i wonder if it would be a good move in the long run James? If its what you really want then you have to go for it otherwise you will forever be regreating it, just dont burn all your bridges and take your time to make the right decision, God luck
