Re: 9 ways to save the NHS
I know im digressing but thought it relevant to changes needed re out of hours doctorsRe: 9 ways to save the NHS
Our out of hours calls are done by a french doctor comes over from France for his shifts, it's very hit and miss that he will find the address he is sent to. I believe he covers several GP surgeries too not just ours. He's an improvement on the German chap didn't speak English though.Re: 9 ways to save the NHS
The only good idea on the list is reinstating nursing bursaries. None of the others will "save" the NHS. Having an option for email communication would be good, but some sick people cannot use computers or don't have access to one.Re: 9 ways to save the NHS
Someone I know had a bad fall resulting in several broken bones. She was taken to hospital in London and there she stayed for the next three weeks awaiting a scan. Eventually, she was transferred by ambulance to another hospital 25 miles away which was closer to where she lives. The very next day, she was taken back to the original hospital in London, by ambulance for a scan. After the scan, she was taken back, by ambulance, to the other hospital.Re: 9 ways to save the NHS
I really believe that a central purchasing for the NHS would prove much more powerful when dealing with pharmaceuticals and outside contractors. At the moment they can charge one Trust £30 for certain hospital items and £130 to another. It's ridiculous! Until this happens, taxpayers money will always be wasted as the NHS treats funds like a bottomless pit, more always available if they run out.Re: 9 ways to save the NHS
Re: 9 ways to save the NHS
Yes central ordering would be good I also think it should be a really national service, it shouldn't matter where you live you should get a similar service but at the moment you can get IVF in some areas and not in others, waits for knees are years some places, weeks in others. It should be an equal service where ever you are IMO
