Having to put out adverts for Corridor Care nurses shows how ingrained is this unacceptable practice. A relative (76) was admitted to a hospital in NW England for further treatment post PE and stent. In a bed along acorridor with other patients. There was little attention/ oversight. The wife had to make sure he was given water and the meds he needed. A nurse said she wasn't sure when he had last had his meds given!
The NHS seems to be beyond breaking point since the 'pandemic'. One wonders what exactly are Trusts and Managers actually managing? Failing in plain sight and seemingly intent on protecting their positions whilst asking for more money.
The GP system has been ruined ( under Tory and Labour govts), more people going straight to A&E than ever before. That needs to be addressed so that people have access and trust in the local GP/Medical Centre. Many people who find the new systems a barrier, delay ( are delayed) treatment and end up as A&E patients.
Hancock's big promotion (while he was lining himself up in 2019 to be the next leader of the Tory Party) was 'telemedicine'. It was the future! Virtual appointments making a significant contribution....no. The new technology is also predicated on reliable energy...is that guaranteed as Milliband degrades the energy infrastructure. "The problem is this doctor. I have a........" Connection lost!
No wonder so many medics are demoralised, as well as the patients they have to care for with as high standards as possible.
I was witness to the mayhem often experienced in the A&E department. Just two years ago my friend was experiencing a serious neurological condition and we had to visit the hospital for her to be "urgently" seen by a doctor. 16 hours later she was still in casualty although thankfully she had eventually been placed on a trolley. The seats in Glasgow Royal Infirmary casualty were fixed to the floor and made of metal with no softness, I had to use my coat for her to sit on to make it slightly more softer for her. I cannot describe the scene around me it was full of people ill and distressed. It was mayhem, I had a woman next me collapse on the floor in distress. I will never forget that experience and I am in dread that I will require emergency care in the future.
The situation is exactly the same in France. Deaths on emergency stretchers are now a regular feature in the press. This trivialisation - a sign that these practices are becoming the norm - is very worrying and totally unhealthy. Our governments are deliberately creating a shortage in hospitals.
Wow! In France too! These are crimes against humanity continuing post 'COVID' under the banner of 'mistakes were made..not enough funding etc' ultimately it also paves the way for the A.I/DIGITAL ''solutions.''
All the 'new normal' situations everyone's seeing are run by collectivist ideologues. Individuals mean nothing to them. Only the greater good counts in that worldview.
I was told this week by someone who relies on NHS bank work, that messages have been sent round by a certain NHS trust essentially saying "we've run out of money" and cancelling future shifts.
It feels like a planned assault on the NHS; this time going way beyond the annual 'winter crisis', and that things are going to get a lot worse before they get even worse and we end up with a US style healthcare system.
All thanks to Kier Starmer and his ilk. New Labour started privatization of the NHS back in 1997, not the Tories, and they seem determined to finish the job. I'm no fan of the Tories but the point is, a corrupted Labour government gets to do this in plain sight, while pretending to save it. The Tories would never get away with that.
🤯😫 Unfortunately, this is the tip of the iceberg. We are still on the upward rise of the tsunami. 😐 Which will be magnified by the continued short staff/incomplete training in healthcare.
In Australia, they are already beginning to use outcare mobile clinics for heart attack patients. In a "preventative" measure but it's because they cannot cope in the hospitals with the amount of heart related issues. These people have barely any training, as the job requirements are so broad and open, before they are sent out to man a mobile clinic in the community.😐 it is for sure necessary, and better than nothing, but it's a drop in the ocean to come.
People are going to need to learn basic first aid, have a mobile defibrillator in their local area (either purchase one between neighbors, some councils have been installing them, so learn where they are), and learn about medicinal herbs, and field medicine.
We will be back to the pioneer days, where everyone needed to know how to take care of wounds, injuries and their community.😐
Its like a race to the bottom and the government are encouraging it. Being NHS retired and once I loved working for it, I don't know how caring staff can do so now. And that's just what the government want isn't it. That will lead to privatisation because people, nurses, doctors, etc. vote with their feet.

Amazing what govs can get away with under the banner ''making mistakes.'' Of course all this chaos paves the way for ''solutions.'' https://healthandcare.scot/default.asp?page=story&story=3975
Models involved( not the visual variety) so doesn't fill with confidence.

All deliberate for many reasons none of them beneficial to the public or staff.
