Endjinneer posted:If it's looking like a shambles at the mo, it's because the vaccination programme staff had a couple of hours of non-specific warning that some thing was going to be announced on Sunday night. Tesseraction posted:What are they losing the staff to? Burnout? There was a huge drive to train volunteer vaccinators a year ago, and then lots of them couldn't get a shift, because you had to go through a site induction ("here is the first aid kit and the fire escape" etc), shown how to use the computer system to update patients' medical records*, and then be supervised vaccinating the first few patients. Meanwhile, bank NHS staff were signing up for (paid) shifts, and they took priority. One nurse mocked volunteers for doing for free what they were getting £20/hour for. Very quickly, the NHS started limiting or refusing to accept volunteer vaccinators who hadn't previously been to the particular site, there because they didn't want to waste time doing the inductions. There were a few stories in the national press about it. What this meant was that thousands of people either gave up out of frustration or because it had been so long they didn't have confidence that they would remember their training. Then by autumn the volunteer vaccinators began to go back to work/university, but it was OK because the programme was slowing down for adults and the volunteers couldn't vaccinate under-18s anyway. Some of the larger sites that had given over their premises for vaccination centres wanted them back now they were allowed to re-open. A lot of the volunteer vaccinators still around are the ones who have been doing what they can for months, whether they are retired or fitting in shifts around their work and personal commitments. Boris mentioned training up more people, but there's no guarantee that the ones who trained and dropped out will come back, and I can't imagine there is an untapped pool of millions who simply forgot to volunteer the first time around. But in making this announcement without ensuring anyone involved in doing the work was prepared, the Government has set the NHS up to fail. * The story of the goon who got 30 jabs is nonsense, you can literally see the date of previous covid vaccinations. The system will flag up a warning if it thinks they're too close together. You could do it under other people's names though.

Jippa posted:For a walk in session where it's a fixed timed session (not open all day). Do you reckon there is a good time to show up where it will be the least busy? Does every one bum rush it at the start? From the walk-in centres I've worked at, there's normally a queue outside at opening, a pretty intense rush until about 0830 of people on the way to work, then a lull until about 0915 when parents who've dropped their kids off and WFHers who've done their work for the day come in, then the quietest period is about 1000-1100 when you start to get the ramp up to lunchtime, then another lull from 1400 to 1500 when you start getting the afternoon school run and after-work crowd in. At weekends it's pretty much a linear increase from opening time until closing time, so just get there about half an hour after opening to get the best chance of a short queue. (This is all for mid-large size venues, but I've no reason to believe that the smaller ones wouldn't be the exact same as those are also roughly the flows for just about any retail premises - if you're not sure, check on Google Maps what the quiet times for the nearest shops are)

So COVID response is now divide and conquer isn't it? Whilst I'm pro vaccinating and science and stuff. I understand that poo poo info and government policy could leave you worrie about your business or livelihoods. I think the Tories are trying to recreate the society divide which led to Brexit winning then the election. It doesn't matter how rubbish Keir stsrmer is I'd he's for to be one side or the other. I mean it does cos he doesn't offer anything because he's a centre bell end . Arguing about vaccines and lockdowns and you aren't fighting the cuntd in charge . And it's working for them. Meh poo poo innit?

Yeah, it honestly doesn't matter how badly the Tories gently caress things up with Covid etc. Come the next election, if they hold to their usual promise of protecting the gains of older homeowners and landlords, while Labour solemnly affirm that, if elected, they'll do absolutely nothing for anyone, the Tories still win hands down, 'cos their core vote will turn out, while the Labour vote won't.

Got up early to go to the vaccine centre I was told yesterday did booster drop ins. They tell everyone theyr not doing booster drop ins but the local pharmacy is, local pharmacy is not doing drop ins. Its funny that the UK gov announced under 40s boosters without telling anyone or having planned anything but also sturgeon did her typical thing of announcing UK policy like 6 hours earlier to pretend the scottish government is real but also hadn't planned anything Communist Thoughts fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Dec 14, 2021 |
