Dept of Health: Frightening strategies

GMC to rewrite Medical Act: allow "anyone " to be a Doctor: IEA thinking

GMC to award CCT Consultant title to "anyone" they choose

Dilute and weaken our NHS with dangerous unqualified non-Doctors, (Noctors), PAs, AAs and ACPs

Stop qualified GPs ready to work from being hired

Stopping training places for qualified Medical graduates-preventing Consultants of the future

Espousing a "single patient record"-too detailed, vast text, not secure, vast expense, unachieveable...

Awarding Palentir-an evil war surveillance firm-to handle NHS data

Employing PAs, AAs, ACPs in roles that require a real Doctor Swamping, diluting to a two tier NHS for the poorest

Patients should be able to easily check if they are indeed on the NHS waiting list-with a direct email to contact WL admin

Elderly patients without internet skills should be able to key in their patient number to speak direct to a receptionist...

 

Dept of Health are scything GPs lists with a scattergun blunderbuss approach

removing patients, not informing GPs

who only become aware when a patient attends, requiring treatment.

Practice receptionists and managers then have to spend time getting these patients reinstated.

Junior Doctors (Residents) dispute for FPR

Government pretend they have increased the pay restoration offer to JD, Residents.

The BMA has acted too swiftly in calling off this weeks strike before details are shown.

BMA should have kept strike on, so Doctors could calmly analyse the details, pros and cons (mainly cons)

Doctors still need £22 an hour, and a prudent surplus of training places, with already qualified GPs being employed by DH and practices.

This smacks of micrometer movement to run down the BMA mandate!

The DDRB can be instructed to award 0% next year!!!

A & E triage by ipad

A well-trained nurse receptionist is skilled at taking details, nature of Emergency, deciding how urgently the patient needs to be seen by a real Doctor.
When I took my unconscious sepsis wife by car, a Doctor came out and arranged urgent admission.
A barcode stencilled on our heads would allow name, address, dob to be rapidly noted-NOT by a terrified patient maybe non tech, disabled etc

A BAD IDEA WITH PURPOSE TO REFUSE DIVERT AND DENY TREATMENT.
ASK FOR A HUMAN SRECEPTIONIST/ TRIAGE NURSE!!!

Maternity failings

When I have my baby, I would like
-plenty of beds,
-admission when I need it
-Plenty of real Doctor obstetricians
-Plenty of midwives

-all working with plenty of knowledge, wisdom, caring, in harmony, no understaffing, rivalry, reluctance to elevate,

towards a good outcome

Social care system

Thatcher said local authorities shoulsd pay for SC, but did not have to provide SC.
Most sold off their valuable care homes to developers at £1...
It is totally wrong that a patient is forced to sell their home, bought of a lifetimes work, out of taxed income, to pay £5000 a month...
Collect all taxes due: the tax gap (uncollected) is £41 billion
add money in aid to terrorists £41billion
Di do's £37 billion test and no TRace etc
