@jillstaffy Sadly too true. How our society suffers because of lack of strategic long term investment and management plans. If only we could have a stable government.
Perhaps we should be allowed to decide if the GFA should evolve
@milliken_don@neurosurgerySpR@parthaskar Not so. They will not have a contract that dictates cover for colleague absence. Will be supervised by medics but working under a different college
Fab colleagues to be sure but will have a few negatives too.
@deeleyc6@parthaskar Most district hospitals need the Consultants to be generalists and shortening training will not deliver what is needed in the long term.
@deeleyc6@parthaskar Experience is key in medicine. Trainees already have had more limited patient exposure than most Consultants in their 40's will have had. Constant referral from one specialty to another for advice is detrimental to care when they're made because of lack of general experience.
@BarryMcAree Not just too many hospitals, lack of access to achieve RPRPFT. lack of commitment to ambulatory care. Continued acceptance of appalling waits in community and Emergency departments. Hard to comprehend how closing hospitals will help without true commitment to change
@millarwilson@steph_green1289@NHSCTrust Ach Stephanie so sorry to miss your last day. Very fitting that it's on Florence Nightingale's birthday.
Hope to see you on the course
@GPDrYvetteDoc I understand your frustration, but I'm just wondering if you have the phone system that cuts patients off if lots of people phoning in.
Might well be just bad communication from your patients. However I have witnessed 110 phone calls to some practices without getting through
@beakally41@GPDrYvetteDoc Well the tweet is a personal experience, so I am not sure we can say it is misleading.
I agree we don't know why there was a DNA but I suppose the point is if someone does not answer the phone 30 secs are lost that's 10 mins lost. Or 30 if it was a smear
