To ask the question again, as you haven't actually answered it:

Were other midwives allowed to wear jewellery?

No, in theory, but many did and i was the only one who was disciplined for it. But this isn't about jewellary, its about a way of life and part of that is my collar. But this is the answer to you question.

Many thanks for the reply and apologies if my posing of it was rather more curt than I actually intended it to be. It wasn't intended to be quite as rude as I felt it came across when I read it back just now.

As the only person who was disciplined for it, I wholeheartedly hope that your action is successful in at least ensuring that the rules are applied equally as vigourously to others as they were to you.

My personal take on it is that it is a part of your personal way of life, not that of all people in D/s relationships. Which I think is where you will struggle to convince a wider audience than BDSMers of the significance of the collar as a committment symbol as part of a wider belief system.

Whilst not being able to give you total support, I do hope that you can get some answers that will give you closure on what must have been a very stressful period.

(Out of interest, during the disciplinary process, did they ever give any reason why they allowed others to flout the rules or did they use the usual excuse of not being able to discuss other cases as it falls outside the process?)

do they specify 'where' you have to have to wear your wedding band.

Whats a collar if not the equivalent?

Staff should not wear jewellery (note plain wedding bands are acceptable); fingernails should be short and free of nail varnish (false nails are unacceptable) and hair should be worn neatly in a style that does not require frequent re-adjustment (Pratt et al., 2007). It is the responsibility of individual organisations to determine a local definition of what constitutes 'jewellery' and what is acceptable, taking into account religious, cultural and infection control needs.

One would assume the wedding band clause encapsulates that the band can be covered with gloves, doesn't have nooks and crannies, and can be removed and washed effectively. Its hard to envisage how a collar can be removable without also having grub screws, cracks etc.

One thing that I do wonder though, is why NHS don't issue standard issue head scarves, turbans, and wedding bands that can be worn as part of the 'uniform'. Generally head wear is regarded as more hygienic - its a legal requirement to wear head protection in catering for example, stops the head lice from falling into the soup.

And all men kill the thing they love, By all let this be heard, Some do it with a bitter look, Some with a flattering word, The coward does it with a kiss, The brave man with a sword!

Noun 1. wedding band

wedding band - a ring (usually plain gold) given to the bride (and sometimes one is also given to the groom) at the wedding

If anyone can get a wedding band round their neck then I'd like to see the pictures.

^^^^ mines the same, i wear it 24/7, and it's locked into place with a grub screw which Master has the allen key to. The only comments i've had about it were people saying they liked my necklace :-)

Same here :)

Yeah nice coller, but you should think about wearing a mask as well

Thats a rude remark and insults my choice

Master likes me wearing a collar to bed, I have two collars. One made of hard thick leather, which I find quite hard to wear because it covers my entire neck, so it's more of a neck brace when I'm wearing it lol. The other is a soft "vanilla" collar from Ann Summers, which is soft black leather with a little padlock, I find it so comfy to wear <3 That's the one I sleep in. I would love to wear it in the day but me and Sir live with my family so we have to keep most of this stuff inside our room....

On another note, I wear a Viking Torc which Sire made (Blacksmith) which we both consider my "collar", it's nice because most people dismiss it as jewellery, but for me and Sire, it's more than that ;)
