We do have the most wonderful minor injuries unit at St Albans which is nurse-led and GP supported. This means a bunch of no-nonsense experienced nurses who can deal with most situations.  It's quick and efficient but the opposite direction from the A&E proper.

I don't want to knock the Luton & Dunstable hospital because it's doing a difficult job and stuff happens.  It has  improved dramatically of late, and you never want to be in hospital anyway.   Getting quite a taste for Oromorph too!

Thank you

I went to see my GP yesterday. He'd heard nothing from A&E (NHS data sharing failure again) and spent the time to listen and then explain. So reassuring.

My immediate neighbour is a GP in the same practice but I avoid going to her simply because she's a good friend. I think it would confuse the relationship.  We are fortunate that the practice has great technology support so that one can book the GP of choice, or specify male or female, and they hold back a batch of appointments for the day.  How is it that iSoft could make such a pigs ear of the wider NHS project?

Too many chiefs and not enough indians I suspect.
