Welcome to the forum....i do not believe they have to be told. It may be worth you contacting your HR department and speaking anonymously to seek their advice. We have plenty of NHS workers posting on here so one of them maybe able to offer advice too.
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !
Hi and welcome to the forum. Do check your own contract of employment as it may state something in there. As others have said if in doubt an anonymous call to HR may give you the answer.
Are you in an IVA or just deciding upon one as a possible debt solution? x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
I'm also a dr, am currently trying to decide between br and iva. I looked into this with my contract & GMC and as others have said, there doesn't seem to be any requirement to notify them. Good luck with it all!
