NHS Connecting for Health: NHS of the future

[telemetry9]

The NHS is facing an onslaught. One from governments' pretending to "love" the NHS - whilst selling off increasingly large parts of it to their "chums".

But there's a greater threat and that is from inside the NHS. Society has changed. Since Thatcher many have become individualistic and that includes SOME who work in the NHS.

They don't want the NHS at heart - they want the "free market". This poses the greatest threat to NHS because these individuals withhold true commitment and service.

Americans are ethical and honest and they have to be. There is no justice in Uk and certainly no accountability. Consultants are unfair unethical and can harass a junior doctor. Carry out trials on them to see who is the smartest and abuse their position even it means breaking into trainees home and stealing information that they want. Then they will join together to harass you furthur.

[getjiggy21]

The SCR database has only ONE purpose.

It will give the government an opportunity to tell people "All your personal details are already recorded on several databases, so why not have ALL information about you IN YOUR CONTROL in an RFID microchip inserted into your hand?"

The SCR databse serves no other purpose except to be a stepping-stone to the dreaded tracking device the RFID CHIP.

I appreciate that this Programme is a little at risk, I think it's a shame. The 'patient experience' identified is the right way to think about this initiative but instead the frustrations of clinicians that do not have the tools to do their job or the skills to implement a massive IT programme have become the client. We need to focus on the patient again, let's start taking some responsibility for improving the NHS by becoming proactive in our feedback, insight and experiences.

Patients aware of system have expressed wish to be excluded but doubtful data protection wishes will apply,and if people do opt out then none of above wishes apply. Better would be interconnection (ie hospitals can quiz a GPs system or GP system quiz hospital for results). To have one system meets all needs centralised system sounds daft. As for data security, no effective means to restrict access across system seems to have been publised

[bi1iruben]

Overspent, criteria changed throughout, and no evidence will integrate with current major computerised record (General Practice) fro whom initially largest provider in country was excluded. Wishful thinking. All previous major government computer systems failled (immigration, child support, etc) and no reason to suppose not same for this too - just scrap and have more moddest aims.

NHS in the UK is unfit for Purpose !.. Zip code Lottery at best, and a means of Culling the old and sick (burden on Society !! )......Do a quick search on the New World Order (NWO) and see how deep this rabbit hole goes....

[MarxBakuninMe]

Zip code? You must be American, right? We have post codes here, sonny. We do not "cull old and new" but we care for everyone no matter their age; it might not be done perfectly, but at least the size of a person's wallet doesn't determine whether he/she has a right to care.

Stop spreading lies about our NHS!

[freedombiteback]

[ Post/Zip code ]Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust is the principal acute provider for the population of Stafford, Cannock, Rugeley and surrounding areas.The Commissions investigation into the Trust, which examined the care of emergency patients, from the time they arrived in A&E, care on the Emergency Assessment Unit and subsequent admission to a surgical or medical ward, found appalling standards of care and chaotic systems for looking after patients. Continue..

[freedombiteback]

Cont.. There were inadequacies at almost every stage in the care of emergency patients. There is no doubt that patients will have suffered and some of them will have died as a result.Continue....The investigation found there were too few doctors and nurses, vital equipment was not available when needed, patients did not receive the care they deserved, and the trust had no systems in place to spot when things were going wrong. (Sir Ian Kennedy, Chair of the Healthcare Commission).

[freedombiteback]

...Continue..They are also calling for an urgent review of the standards of care being provided on the hospital wards other than in A&E. Grave concerns about these departments have been raised by the local community and so far not been properly investigated and/or addressed by the Commission, Secretary of State or other regulatory bodies.We have a saying here (UK) :Those that feel it knows it !......

[freedombiteback]

Cont.The complaints procedure at the hospital also remains an area of concern amongst patients, their relatives and local residents. They believe an independent advocate or similar such individual or body needs to be appointed to deal with the concerns that have been and continue 2 be raised about the quality of care provided at the Hospital. At the moment, the Trust itself is dealing with these complaints, which Cure the NHS and their members do not consider appropriate.[culling of the sheeple]

[LecceDiPane]

you need to lay off the propaganda and conspiracues of the NWO m8 because it will drive you insane trust me i've seen it before!

[lickmyfart]

You're probably American huh? So am I, and it's embarrassing that we're from the same country bro. Don't have any kids. Thank you.

[freedombiteback]

You're probably Wrong about me (UK here) and the NHS,We have a saying over here,'' those that feel it, knows it ''...Peace....

[tomicaaa111]

@freedombiteback

im a paramedic, i do 12 hour shifts day and night, responding to stupid amounts of calls per day and year because our system is full of not ill people who are not educated enough about the healthcare system, call an ambulance for a month old complaint, got a cold, ring 999.

this strain makes vehicles and beds unavailable at hospital, because although we know most ppl rnt ill, protocol sometimes says take them to hospital end of story....

[freedombiteback]

@tomicaaa111 Uneducated is the Word.Dumb down by design !.It's easy to con-dition the uneducated...The NHS you work for is a privately owned Hospital, with shareholders and dividends paid !! (like Mc donalds).And not one penny of our Slave Taxes goes towards any services !.Our country is bankrupt, so our puppet Government sold us (citizens) to the IMF/World bank (moons ago),therefore every penny we pay in taxes goes directly to these banks !.Sick folk makes good profit for the Elite shareholders

[freedombiteback]

@tomicaaa111 What Dun And Bradstreet (Elite) Don't What You To Know (the Police,Courts all have shareholders !)...And : Admiralty law, Common Law And Our Sovereign Birthright. <--Copy and Paste Please

[lickmyfart]

You brits need to defend your NHS system because if you're not careful it could end up like the shit that we have here in america! We have people that are against a national run healthcare system in this country and it is completely absurd.

[SoziLiberAL]

A litte Socialism is better than socialdarwinismus, like you have in the US.

The last has more to do with the Nazis than the first. Why in your country people are against Obama? The World loves him.

[baresolid]

Is this the £12bn fuck up of a database? It was a good idea but they fucked it up.

[boycie81]

heard there is a new healthcare career jobsite coming out in July 2009, uk healthcare careers, very intresting about time too!!!

[liberaluk10]

We Brits MUST protect our beloved NHS from the evil forces of private, fat cat profiteers.

Daniel Hannan of the Conservative party is openly pushing for a sweeping privatisation of the NHS.

The number one reason for homelessness in America is medical bills (co-pays & deductables). People in America have already died of swine flu, whereas nobody in Britain has died of Swine flu despite high infection rates.

We MUST defend it!

[silver760]

I'm ahead of this lot already I carry all my medical files on a USB memory stick,due to my complex problems and being sick and tired of repeating myself everytime I go anywhere near the NHS.

[Boobalopbop]

You people do a lot of bitching and moaning... At least you have free healthcare. Your system sounds like paradise compared to the US

[richardcadbury]

The NHS is a massive burden. It is bad for the healthy, and worse for the sick. It is bad for the wealthy, and worse for the poor.

[sweetypie000]

The money they waste in obsurd. I should know i worked for them.

These 'in house' doctor people they have now in A&E are a disgrace to the meaning of National Health services.

The NHS has been stolen from under the publics nose. churchill guaranteed us it would be there.

I went to the A&E in hospital last night in dire pain and was sent home by CAMIDOC to make an appointment with my local GP.

HOW WE HAVE LET THIS CAMIDOC TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS TO TREATMENT I DO NOT KNOW.

Disgusting.

[anthonyvidgen]

i work in the ambulance service, and can i just say what a load of pointless shite everything depicted here is

[davidjames789]

@anthonyvidgen This rubbish was obviously produced by somebody with absolutely no knowledge of hospital medicine.
