Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 08:48:14 AMAbsolutely.  However, ACPs/ANPs are matron grade.  They have undertaken far more training than nurses or paramedics, and carry out a lot of the work that used to be undertaken by doctors.  In theory they free up the doctors for more complex cases and also save the NHS money. 

I agree, and I see this as a sensible, practical solution to the problems today.

With a rapidly increasing population today in this country, the difficulty of being seen by a health professional - any health professional - is a foreseeable consequence.
The obvious solution, which could effectively reverse this trend, is clear to me but for some reason the people running this country seem oblivious to it.

Food shop for me today and later I'm waging war on slugs in my garden, the little shytes are ruining my Hostas.

Safe journey Raven, take it easy. 
Hugs for Dageus x

What is the problem with your lack of internet connection?
Is it a particular supplier?  If so, I'd advise you to look for an alternative.  I have done that in the past.

Have a good break. You need a phone that can provide internet access. I'd feel cut off without any.

Have a good time - give Dageus a big cuddle!

Quote from: Alex on Today at 07:53:45 AMA lot for you to take in Raven, I wish you well with the treatment 

Thanks Alex. 

My wife worked for the NHS as a occupational therapist. Her assistant , who was bone idle and useless, was offered the chance to be a health care practitioner. She encouraged the move to get rid of the assistant.

I've just had my Covid booster jab but this time it was the Moderna vaccine.

All my previous five jabs were the Pfizer vaccine.

I was advised to wait in my car for 15 minutes, like I was with the first three Pfizer jabs, but I drove straight back home.
