I am off on one again, just where does the government thinks it can find staff for the NHS?, it seems that they can magic up doctors and nurses from fresh air, some one has to tell them to be realistic it is just not going to happen, a seven day service don't make me laugh, there is a massive shortage of GP's, trained staff just do not want to go in to it anymore, many emigrate to Australia for better pay, work ethics and of course a better living, why would they stay here?, nurses are not a committed as they once were, training has changed so much but again I have to say the one thing that is not in all qualified nurses is it the word Care, for some reason this word is vanishing from the NHS vocabulary,
so what does the future hold for us as users, not a lot really, can I ask do you really want to see a consultant at the weekend? probably not, the reason for patients passing away at week ends is not because of lack of consultant care but just lack of care, have a look round a ward on a weekend just try and find staff you will have to look hard, Saturday and Sunday night shifts are lacking hospital staff as such and patients are allegedly looked after by agency staff, I spent two full weekends in hospital we had 12 cardiac patients being looked after by two agency nurses who I heard them say had never worked on the ward before, of these two qualified nurses one had to spend the best part of 3 hours doing the drug round, one health care assistant giving the last drink of the day, so is it not at all surprising that so many die at the weekend.
You the younger generation needs to be fully aware of all of this, it will be far to late when you find yourself or one of your family is hospitalised, you need to make sure you are fully aware of the problems and for once do something about it!!.
