@QLDCountryGP I don’t think hospitals will drop their mandatory criteria, so if this does go ahead will result in a lot of rejected referrals, which will lead to the allied health staff with responsibility to follow up and re assess and complete the referrals

@Medic_Russell In addition to this, anyone willing to come to places like Australia and New Zealand, can get better pay, sick leave, professional development. NHS staff have options if the NHS doesn't value them, we will.

@drgarethroberts @OrthopodReg I use biers blocks in our department it's less resource intensive, a sedation needs requires about 2 nurses to check drugs and then 1:1 airway, until they are fully recovered. In theory a biers block can be done in 30 minutes with 1 nurse. Then patient can leave immediately.

@PeterDutton_MP I am so pessemistic that for years when asked anything about boat arrivals it has been confidential, and the day of an election they have a press release.

@DrBenLovell My first day of a new consultant job, the director of nursing asked me in front of all of hand over and team what my wife does and has she enjoyed the move, I admit I retreated, and deflected until I felt comfortable with the team
