We all know people who can fix meters, even the new ones. I'm not saying go get your electricity or gas meter fixed but if your kids are cold and hungry fuck the courts and big electricity and gas companies.
I grew up by the borders of a US invaded zone. Globally is not speaked about but i was the first generation to be able to walk thru the area and see it legally free but socially you see their eyes different than yours, their last names and their houses bigger,cleaner and somehow you feel out of place in your own country. Somehow you are inadequate and you must behave your best or you could end up like that uncle noone talks about because he ended himself in the backyard
I trained in the nhs and was damned proud of it (old school) gaining 2 qualifications for 2 registers. That was before I realised through working overseas that there are many countries whose health systems are infinitely better and that was 40 years ago. Since then it continues to deteriorate mainly because of inept politicians and leaders. we have fooled into believing that the nhs was the best in the world . The whole thing needs a co:plate overhaul in every area including the training of both doctors and nurses. One of the areas that needs looking into is overseas qualifications as sadly they are very rarely comparable.Competencies need very careful cross referencing to ensure standards are met. We are even now hearing stories of universities passing graduates before they are actually competent as they are under pressure from the government to get more staff out there. No bloody wonder they are stressed out and leaving in droves. I now live in Australia but when I went to get registered at the nurses board I was asked to get a transcript of the academic studies and practical competencies that I had completed for both qualifications. Once I had that however I was registered immediately. At first I was a bit miffed at having to do that but then I understood that OZ was addressing the duty of care to both patients and employers! The whole is experiencing a shortage of health professionals and unfortunately there are qualifications that are fraudulent . Africa n particular. It’s not racism to check authenticity. I actually felt sick to my stomach at all the clapping that went on during the pandemic. Very patronising! Clapping doesn’t pay the bills or improve working conditions. Lastly having looked at the background of he various health ministers over the years very few have the skills, underpinning knowledge, required background or the GUTS to take the job. Matt Hancock for example should never have been that position and having watched the unfolding of the infected blood scandal , Ken Clarke should be held to account for his part. But no, nobody is held to account. The bankers even got their bonus’s despite the financial crash. Britain is a total laughing stock.
I'm in Scotland and have been receiving care for the last 18 months. I've been in hospital and also received regular care from my surgery. They have been wonderful and i have never seen anything like this. It breaks my heart to see this, but it needs to be seen. The government is responsible for this. Please God, don't let us lose the NHS.
Saw a patient have a tonic clonic seizure in ED in this hospital in a bed and was ignored by staff, ended up having to shout out for staff and was alone for several minutes. Their SATs dropped and had to get o2 on when they were steady, I couldn't do much because I had no PMH or anything, was really sad, to top it off my radio was going off and was asked to leave as not my patient. This wasn't even a one off, saw things like this regularly. Saw patients being discharged when they weren't ready many times and had to go back in on blues. Very sad. Staff are demotivated because we can't do the job we want to do. We want to help people, but the infrastructure isn't there. It's at crisis point estate wide.
So the so called NHS staff that are “caring “ and witness this SHIT SHOW on a daily basis, DO NOT speak up about the subject matter? That makes them COMPLICIT in the crime. Right?
when they want to cut funding, the first thing these politicians do is look at the nhs. its disgusting. the politicians shouldn't be allowed to have private healthcare while they are affecting the rest of us. also prime ministers who have never been voted in, shouldn't get a pension they get just for serving. you can serve 3 to 6 weeks as pm and get the full pension depending on circumstances.
Those fit to sit rooms are just another waiting room but behind the scenes so know one knows its going on,,,try sitting in one of those chairs for over 4 hours...it should be criminal
As a lupus sufferer this is really scary to me ! 😢i can go into a crisis any time and need quick intervention....the way things are , theres no guarantee of survival! In Croydon alone they closed 3 hospitals and trimmed it to one! While tge population is growing and ageing . What can be done , shiuld we do a separate NHS tax , something like NI payment but NHS one from all of us , so that money is available? This is really frightening
Know what you mean chicken I grew up when it all started but let's face it the British government thought they could control us but they passed us over to the people they think can control us, really we are the people of Northern Ireland we have have a voice and I think really you are going to here the voice, government has let us down why do you want to vote for them ☘️
How do you clean yourself after a bowel movement? I hear most people say that BBL gives you really skanky smelly gross smell bc you cannot clean properly.. You are so gross!
Conservatives have systematically and deliberately done this over decades!!!! They want a FOR PROFIT system like the USA has. I have lived in the UK for 40 years and the US for 25 years. You DO NOT want to have the US system. You will die, be in debt and have to go bankrupt for the privilege of getting health care !! Stop voting TORY!
In Australia, Councils do an annual "hard rubbish" collection from the kerbside. We also get free tip tokens each year. Doesn't stop fly-tipping entirely but I have never seen anything like what was shown in the doco.
You lose empathy working in the NHS, everything that shocks the average person becomes the norm to NHS, people bleeding, being sick, fitting, heart attacks and dying. There needs to be something to put empathy back into staff.
The nurse saying 10 ambulances and the HCA being suprised is concerning when the hospital we take patinets to has frequently got 30+ ambulances waiting outside, with patients waiting to come in for 12+hours
The state failed on the contract with its citizens a long time ago. Keeping them safe and healthy for your tax payment has been disregarded, and they've overseen the gigantic transfer of wealth from poor to rich. Why assume they'd care, your leaders take and demand your money under laughable excuses. Britain is a fallen state, perhaps returning to the island's division as it was before the battle of Brunanburh is preferable, taking away such centralised power.
My dad got sent to hospital, remained in the ambulance waiting outside the building for 18 hours. He couldn't get the help he needed. He died Father's Day. Currently, his body is on a cold slab, AND I'm still awaiting the death certificate due to staffing shortages. FUCK THE TORIES. FUCK WHOEVER CONTRIBUTED TO THIS BROKEN FUCKING SYSTEM.
They should've shown information over the blur, like patient sex and estimated age. How many were 60+? 70+? 80+? 90+? How many actually had to be in A and E, and how many have dementia or other advanced age issues? Seems like a major burden to the NHS is people aged 80+. People live much longer these days but often with (severe) health issues, often several of not a handful. No one should live to this advanced age and complicated illnesses. This is an issue of an ageing population.
