Thanks for your comments Moira.I ...Hi Moira<br /> Thanks for your comments Moira.I don't think that we are on our own with this! As I see it, the biggest issue in this is that large Government bodies are suspicious of outsiders, and change. The decision makers have been in the system for so long, they only know one way of doing things. <br /> None of us want to lose the NHS, but we can't just sit back, and resist constructive change.If independent businesses don't move with the times,they will regress and eventually fail.That is market forces, and that is what drives business! Always customer focused!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208572330195914101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749436707205297492.post-1423854608447117022012-05-10T17:10:09.888+01:002012-05-10T17:10:09.888+01:00I totally agree !!! Like you, Chris, I have needed...I totally agree !!! Like you, Chris, I have needed NHS treatment over the last 6 months and am incredibly grateful for all the care and attention I have received. However I am very worried if ever I need to contact the hospital 'out of hours' because I am not sure whether the treatment or care will be the same as during the week.<br /><br /><br />There were some TV programmes a few years ago that highlighted the waste when operating theatres were not used over the weekends ( and even in some cases Friday afternoons ). Unfortunately I don't think things have changed very much since this came to light.<br /><br /><br />I think you set the scene well when you describe how life has moved on for the consumer in other areas. As you say it is not beyond careful planning by NHS strategists to work out how a better 24/7 service could be delivered. As you say again, everyone working in the NHS is a consumer too. I would be very interested in helping you pursue this campaign.<br /><br /><br />MoiraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749436707205297492.post-30494904943310154932012-05-08T17:03:32.678+01:002012-05-08T17:03:32.678+01:00Hiya Bev
Many thanks for your comments. It...Hiya Bev<br /> Many thanks for your comments. It is interesting to hear about things from your side of the fence. You guys do a fantastic job, to fix our bones and stuff,something I can't do! <br /> The idea of the Community is for people to come and share experiences.I have always tried to talk openly about every subject, so that people might feel encouraged to open up about their own experiences. I have always felt that once you are aware of the problem, you can do something to solve it. <br /> Therefore to enable professionals like you, to help us, we need to be honest with you.<br /> Your knowledge and experience is invaluable, and will be shared with all of the Community. Thank you for that, and I look forward to welcoming you back to the blogChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208572330195914101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749436707205297492.post-2190146777635510342012-05-08T13:58:02.309+01:002012-05-08T13:58:02.309+01:00Dear Chris,
I have been following your blog for q...Dear Chris,<br /><br />I have been following your blog for quite a time now, but have not reply due to my technical hick ups.<br /><br />As a therapist it is nice to see the fustration and anxiety that you as a patient have been through and the restrains that have taken place.<br /><br />Please continue this great work and inspiration that you can give fellow cancer challange people.<br /><br />As a therapist, I get the feeling of we can help so far as the body will allows us. We can not change life, but can only help the body along to which way it wants to lead us. We are all challenged but the techniques that have been developed, with knowledge that they can make a difference on the quanity for the existing life and these techniques come in all shapes and sizes not all suite every individuals. Therefore, voice an opinion is great because this adds to outcome, of how we treat that individual. Lets us know what feels best.<br /><br />BevAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
