NHS Options

Not very Friday night,but how much faith have you in their service?I'm not impressed,Mrs bitten by a dog last winter and given no tetnus jab sent home and ended up developing tetnus!Not nice week in hospital and lots of side effects,only an A&E sister spotting something wasn't right after theDr she'd seen had sent her on her way stopped it being worse.I'm not a quack or nurse but worked in a few hospitals as a porter and then delivering medical equipment from Aberdeen to Jersey so been in a few and not impressed how there run.

My wife is a nurse and the "coal face" staff in general have pride in what they do and want to provide a good service.

Its evident in my wifes NHS trust that it is the upper management who do not know what the word "leadership" means and let the side down through lack of experience and support for staff and the critical services they supply.

We are lucky in this country with the service the NHS provide. It might not be perfect but in general its bloody good, its far from poor and there is some really talented and committed people, held back by the idiots who could not manage their way out of a paper bag.
