...for training purposes.

An emergency number on a recorded message, brief explanation followed by ...goodbye! And the line hangs up.

Off to A+E then.

Oh so you still have one then ? My local one closing

[chrisgixer]

Further, two surgeries run by this practice. Both closed as they're serviced by the same number.

They can't just close two surgeries during advertised opening times. At least have one cover the other.

Chris have you considered a career in public sector management


Actually, scrap that, you'd be far too logical

[chrisgixer]

Your not serious..?

The single most important qualification for management is to be completely devoid of any common sense whatsoever ime.

...and then, at the same time, believe so whole heartedly in everything you've said, with no Chrystal ball, experience, or grounding at all.

I simply don't possess the the ability to
1)just tell people what they want to hear.
2)having done so, go off and do anything or everything except and bs my way though.

These are the true qualities of management that see reward in promotion and pay.


I can't and won't live in an alternate universe based on fiction. Lies! Actually.

I keep telling you the solution, close the NHS.

I keep telling you the solution, close the NHS.

To which I replied you where wrong and that it needs starting again. To which you agreed.

And no, I don't suppose you do remember it either.

All surgeries in the area where closed for training between 12 and 5 pm. Emergency access only.

[Broomies Mate]

I don't know about the Surgery you are talking about, but every Quack here is private and charge the NHS for the work they do - That's the norm across the land, is it not?

It's no wonder NHS run A&E departments are fighting a losing battle when the money-grabbing privately owned 'Practices' are either closed or unable to see you until sometime in next month!

I have no issues with it being rebuilt as a new entity, if that could be done (which it probably can't). But you cannot fix the mess that is currently there.

Your experience today about sums it up.

[chrisgixer]

Apparently its considered the most effective way of training. All at once. Guessing cheapest being priority concern. Ok fine, but at the expense of their reason to exist, with no warning, no advertising or cover...? Apparently there was a notice on the surgery door.

(Leaves room shaking head)

[Gaffers]

As someone who used to be manager who delivered healthcare this is a little upsetting.

As a minimum when performing a planned closing of a medical facility:

- plenty of forewarning to those likely to be affected
- early identification of those who rely on the service for care or who are due to arrive that day and alternative arrangements made
- early communication with neighbouring medical facilities and de-conflict disruptions to the provision of care services (this should already be detailed in a business continuity plan)

Anything else can be considered a breach of the trust's license to operate with local health authorities.

Inky Pinky. As H would say.

Although you know as well as I do, there absolutely no point even approach a GP, if you have a bad back.

Although you know as well as I do, there absolutely no point even approach a GP, ever.

Fixed

WTF does that mean
