Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
My wisdom gem of the day.
This cold weather will last until it gets warmer
No need to thank me. Your welcome

I wondered about that myself but left it.

The frost was down by 7.00pm here. I'm only 10 miles from Accy so I'm not surprised.

Whiplash, soft tissue injuries to my arm.
Rest, painkillers, but try and keep mobile.
They were really quick seeing me, but the Friday night winos and pith heads had long gone.

- Somewhere wet & hilly in NW England.
Sat and Sun are relatively quiet days (in A&E) at the hospital I attend.
Monday is the biggie - I wonder why?

When i was little, when I banged my head/leg/arm etc mu mum always said "you will have a pigs foot there tomorrow".
No idea where that saying comes from but let us know if it turns out to be true

I have had an annoying thing happen
As I have mentioned before I volunteer for AgeUK a few times a week helping older people (!) with IT things
A lot of it is installing the NHS App and helping them get used to it
Anyway - a while ago I asked if the NHS had - or could create - a dummy version, or patient, we could connect to which would show all teh facilities without any risk of sending a real message to a pharmacy or doctor
and no chance of me seeing someone else'e private health information
any road up
On Thursday - late afternoon - out little group of IT volunteers were sent a message
Apparently out local office had received a message asking if any of us wanted to attend a meeting - ON Monday!! - to talk about the current NHS strategy and whether they should push forward towards an almost totally digital interface with patients
There was something about clients - but that was very unclear about taking them along or talking to them first or what?
The message was from National Voices which is working with/part of - the NHS
Now I have made it clear to people that I find this dumb - a lot of clients I have seen are just not ready for more digital stuff - even with the NHS App
and I know my parents and my wife's mother would never have been able to use it - let alone use it properly
Now - as I was a very techy IT person for 20 years in a big company - and spent a second career as an IT teacher and since then have helped a load of people to do IT stuff I think I have a unique and very valid viewpoint
I have asked for more details of the meeting
like - what on Earth do they mean by meeting?
is it local - on line - in Timbuktu??
How many people will be there - just a couple - or 50??
what is the agenda - if any - important for a large group - less so for a couple of people having a chat
and my contacts have said they are also confused - but have asked for more information
that was yesterday
no more info
so I may be going to a meeting tomorrow - somewhere somehow
not knowing is annoying
sorry - just wanted to moan
but also - anyone else worked with National Voices in any way??
thanks - I'll stop moaning now!
