Talk To Thompsons
Call
At Thompson’s we would like to reassure all our clients that as far as possible we are operating as normal. The health and safety of our staff and clients is our primary concern during this outbreak and as such we are reviewing the situation on a regular basis and will be adapting our working practices following government guidelines. However, we have had to make some minor changes to how we are doing things.
Following Government guidelines, we have temporarily closed all of our offices and our staff are now all working from home using secure technologies to ensure they are able to continue to progress with existing and new cases as normal. All face to face meetings have been cancelled, however we are continuing to hold these meetings via phone and video calls. All the team are contactable on their direct dial numbers and email should you need to speak with your solicitor, please do not hesitate to talk to us about anything during this time.
We know these are uncertain and unsettling times for many of our clients, and the wider population, and things might look a little different for the foreseeable future. But our focus remains on our dedication, knowledge and strength that we provide to all our clients. We will continue to provide updates over the coming days and weeks in accordance with official guidelines and to keep everyone informed of the situation.
As always, for any concerns, advice and updates on your case; Talk to Thompsons.

This is not a moment, it’s a movement…. One of my favourite lines from the musical Hamilton – which I may have dedicated a bit too much time to over lockdown. We all have our coping mechanisms and I’ve come to realise that I found a lot of strength from that musical in the last year. The underdogs fighting for what is right, at times letting passion get the better of them in a ruthless world but maintaining strength and a sense of what is right throughout it all.

When COVID 19 hit us in March 2020 my role as a Staff Nurse and Staff Side Representative took my level of training to a whole new level. Suddenly the meaning of being One Team had never been so apparent. Staff were put under a huge amount of pressure both mentally and physically. With services stopping, staff shielding and being re-deployed to work in other areas out with their normal remit. The impact of COVID and what it meant to for key workers was enormous.

March 2020, we were on an emergency footing and bracing ourselves for the worst, so my role as a Pain Nurse Specialist was no longer a priority. Supporting people’s failing organs, namely their lungs was everyone’s priority. Almost two years after my last shift as a Staff Nurse in a High Dependency Unit I found myself rapidly up-skilling to work in a Covid Intensive Care Unit. The normal rules no longer applied, the onus to be deemed as competent at providing intensive care was on me not the clinical educator nor education coordinator. There was a sense of urgency and a sense of uncertainty for sure!

On privatisation of the nationalised UK coal mining industry in 1994, the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme (“MPS”) was closed to further contributions and privatised. The UK Government became guarantor to the Scheme, and guaranteed that pension members would always receive the benefits they had earned up to privatisation, and that these benefits would increase in line with inflation. In return, it was agreed that the Government would be entitled to a 50% share of any surpluses in the Scheme’s value at future valuations. The other 50% would be distributed to members through bonuses.
