#FactFriday What is a message in a bottle? The Lions Message in a bottle is a simple idea that encourages people to keep their basic personal and medical details in a common place where they can easily be found in an emergency. A great idea for those living alone. How does it work? Your medical information is kept in a bottle, fill out your details then the bottle is put in the fridge, where the emergency services will expect to find it in the event of being called to your home. They will know you have a bottle by a label, one to be applied to the fridge door and one on the side of your front door. Where can I get a bottle? Health Centres, Doctors Surgeries, Chemists. If you have difficulty, please contact your local Lions Club. www.lionsclubs.co.uk

NHS staff will be asked to staff operating theatres in the evening to cut waiting times for planned surgeries in Scotland. Neil Gray, the Scottish health secretary, said they would be “offered the opportunity” to work evenings and “perhaps weekends” to reduce unacceptably long waits for treatment.

Inspector experience is very important. You need someone who has gone through the process so they can then identify what works and what doesn’t. That is the only way you can drive improvement.

 I wasn’t planning on posting a second video about Labour’s first budget in 14 years, but I felt compelled to share more thoughts. The potential negative effects of this budget on our healthcare sector are beginning to get the attention they deserve. In this video, I discuss how these changes could impact GP surgeries and the homecare sector specifically, with funding adjustments that risk straining resources further, and ultimately resulting in patients and clients suffering. #Healthcare #SocialCare #LabourBudget #GPs #Homecare #careathome #domicilarycare

This is a long awaited / much needed fix but the reality is that it's also just allowing trainees who were already coming through the system to take the jobs they've trained for. They were already in the system and working the jobs - just not being paid for or given the right titles. Maybe a few were sitting out of work but it's doubtful that they wouldn't have carried on as GPST grades or worked as locums in the system in some way. I'd see this initial step as a retention scheme rather than a recruitment scheme. It'll have a positive impact and should be welcomed. It won't be the silver bullet to reduce waiting times for a GP appointment though. Increasing university places and GP training slots is the only long term solution. This should be accompanied by a workable program of international and permanent recruitment for the short to medium term. The previous government pledged to recruit 6,000 more GPs in 2019 with a procurement exercise launched to promote international recruitment - however it failed to give practices sponsorship licenses and didn't address the fact that it's impossible to qualify without already working in the NHS. Workarounds for this red tape would really be beneficial to international GP recruitment.
