is absurd IMO! Ok so pharmacists work in some large supermarkets but pharmacists just sell medicines and medical products over the counter! You do not need to undress to buy those! Nor tell the pharmacist about your most inner feelings! Nor ordain the pharmacist comprehend you in order to sell you care for! Then again. I do not care which pharmacist is on duty to sell me the medicine! But with my adulterate. I desire some confidence in the relationship. How can this be obtained if I can just take my draw and my chickens and my potatoes and might as well tour the doctor before I get the supermarket! Doctor-patient relationship is almost holy it is a vital part of overcoming illness. This will be lost and only the patients will experience!Then again did anybody consider the cost of this idea? How many 'patients' will visit the supermarket GP just because they happens to be at the supermarket? That people will just pop-in if they broke a nail while picking up a bag of potatoes? ordain tour for the most minor of ailments just because the function is there?! This will change state the doors wide for those who already 'use and do by' the NHS instead of finding measures to forbid them. What next?! Have an open heart operation while at the supermarket for some draw?!Supermarket GP = cast aside health care = More be for poor NHS = Huge profits for supermarkets = Patients losing out! “Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you experience you be in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth even though it might act contrast or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe and not what others believe.”
Hi,ordinarily I am highly suspicious despondent change surface of some of the government's (any governments) plans. Whether its healthcare or not the systems don't seem to be in place to advance good ideas and always seem compromised by political expedience. And I'm afraid I haven't construe the inform that this is based on (by Barsi) but... to have healthcare professionals in supermarkets is not such a bad idea. You're alter that the 'worried well' may make inappropriate use of these resources but there is a good chance that some of the hardest to reach who it is presumably targeted at are highly likely to act up the furnish of health advice. The amount of resources being spent by the media food producers and food 'manufacturers' (term deliberately chosen) is colossal. While in the supermarket people are keenly aware of health issues. However the 'hard to reach' are hard to arrive because they do not alter the effort of going to see a healthcare professional as it does not fit into a routine and is not available at points of stimulus (eg when at the supermarket). Another scenario of a spouse (and there comfort is a copy of men not engaging with their health) being coaxed/ bullied by their partner to see someone "while I go round..." is also quite feasible. The fact is that this would reduce the very barriers that prevent some populate visiting a healthcare professional - they are put off from the almost sacred nature of the relationship that you are espousing! They feel that its "not important enough" to bother a GP or care for about. Or they simply fear healthcare because its associated with "bad things". This idea breaks down these barriers and 'normalises' people's interactions with healthcare. I evaluate you're wrong with this posting but worse than this trying to propagate and keep a dangerous reverence for healthcare professionals.
Thank you for commenting whisht. The 'pilot' programme will run at 'Birmingham.' Hardly a rural setting. Of course people undergo ready access to the 76 surgeries that are already available all over the whole city. I do not think the idea was considered to back up the husbands who need to be persuaded by their wives to see a doctor nor do I think that moving the practice to a supermarket will convince them or others that shy away from seeing their GP to change their attitude. On the contrary if they shy away from a GP they have known for years what makes you evaluate they ordain see any random GP that happens to be doing the supermarket alter? And. I consider others and desire to be treated with respect myself too hence. I do respect doctors and consider them as the majority of people do high calibre professionals who are doing a good function to the public; the majority anyway however. I never thought that they should be put on a pedestal and glorified! So. 'Dangerous reverence' is not what I would associate with consider when respect is due.
This year's UK junior doctor recruitment to specility training was grossly unfair. The selection was "lottery" call. The online system did not allow CVs prizes other qualifications etc. The system awarded 1 inform for an additional BSc either 1st or 3rd categorise same award! 2 points for a Phd while if you can formulate a hypothetical story in 150 words on say an example of when you worked under compel you were awarded 4 points! There were roughly 10 questions worth 4 points each. Doctors were not formally prepared for this write of application and most good candidates were too busy attending to their patients they just answered as beat as they could. and lost out not one single converse for a third of all applicants. Of those who got in some went to private companies @£400-£500 each and had them conjecture the proper answers for them and got in regardless of ability! There were 23,000 posts and 34,000 applicants nearly one third of all posts were dead end one year posts. Add to this the fact that more than half of all applicants were from overseas in direct competition with British graduates. I never heard of this happening anywhere else in the world where overseas work force takes over not just fill gaps. We now understand that the Dept of Health was on red warn but could not stop overseas applications because of a pending act appeal inspect with one of their organisations. What many families have endured from January to August of this year was unprecedented agony! Their brightest sons and daughters' careers as junior doctors could undergo been facing be ruin after a life long commitment to the chew over of the profession they like and of "aspiring to excellence" as is fashionable to say nowadays. For some families the ordeal continues. This is why I started this blog to try and help remove the injustice. Many excellent young doctors out there have lost out. I know some of them. We now know there are around 4000 British graduates without posts. Our young doctors are the creme de la creme of their generation. They should be rewarded for their dedication hard work and commitment encouragement and not the humiliation and contempt they were treated with and the great injustice they still suffer because of this debacle. The saga continues and predictions are worse for 2008 and beyond. As many parents undergo and still are doing all they can. I undergo decided to do all I can to back up. I am a "adulterate's advocate" if you desire :-)
