Endjinneer posted:Move fast and break hips. Holy poo poo lol Wes is a loving danger, not that that's news to anyone ITT. Trying to paint it as the NHS just not being innovative enough, as if there's some kind of magic way to provide healthcare on the cheap they just haven't bothered implementing. And even if demanding they do more with less worked, we've already been underfunding it for ages, any possible efficiency gains have already been made! I don't want the healthcare system to be overly worried about 'efficiency savigs'. I want them to be at the cutting edge of medical science and best practices, but that's not something that happens because a bold innovator is trying poo poo out in their private practice, that's how you get chiropractors. Actual modern advancement comes out of laboratories and university hospitals and so on. You know - expensive poo poo. The best a regular GP's office or even ordinary hospital can do is cut back on staff and pay, provide fewer services at lower quality, and try loving around with the bureaucratic side of things because they are desperate and are promised a computer or booking system that will save them time. Whereas what the great majority of healthcare requires is the application of steady, unglamorous best practices, in anything from the org charts to the oncology department. Outside of the research branch they should be using established methods, because whatever savings are to be had come from the efficiency of scale. In short Wes is a briefcase wanker and Tory Boy who needs to wind his neck in

Pigfkr can fk off. Hamsa Yousaf has actual relatives in Gaza. If any other minister had relations in any other country being obliterated by a heavily armed, violent, aggressive attacker, they would be applauded for talking about it.

That's been brought up during Covid with vaccination rates across various communities and how literally anything would have been better than the mess of central government advice. Then there's the complete opposite end where regional health doesn't trust local clinics, and so gives them a limited number of oncology, cardiology, etc. referrals to stop them 'wasting' them, and so encourage GPs to 'innovate' how many people are actually ill. I can guess which way 'tough love' Wes leans.

At least he's been slightly less awful than his predecessor on Palestine, with the UK abstaining on votes in the UN and the like. I think it's more that he isn't a fan of Erdogan.

there is no bigger indictment of the current Labour Party than them gleefully talking about getting Tory voters to switch and not realising it’s because the two parties are essentially indistinguishable currently

It's weird knowing about Piss Streaking from before he was an MP and he was just the NUS Labour leader and supported austerity and tuition fees. As the late Dawn Foster said, he's always been a right wing Lick Spittle oval office.

The PM doesn't even have to be a Lord. It would be hilarious if we get Boris back, but he's still banned from Parliamentary grounds and wouldn't be able to speak in either chamber if he was unbanned.

It was unsettling watching Nigel Farage - who is never not "on" politically but whose politics are themselves a kind of politics-denial - in a space which, due to its format and audience, has to stay blandly apolitical. It's supposed to be a gruelling ordeal of cockroaches and pig vaginas but in many ways it must have been an almost heavenly fantasy for him: TV cameras trained on his every interaction, with viewers ready to vote out anyone who dares do a Politics in his presence. Brexit being the right thing to do was a "point of view" that everyone was required to respect, and if you didn't, you got disappeared in 24 hours. But of course the showrunners well knew all of this; that's why he was paid 1.5 million quid to be there in the first place

Guavanaut posted:There is some good innovation you could do at the GP/pharmacy level in terms of outreach. Like with the idea that the public health bodies should be determining the 'what' as in what interventions work at the public level, local pharmacies and clinics may know how to communicate that to their community better than some Whitehall SPAD, so would be better at the 'how'. This is fair and I shouldn't have said I want an absolute ban on them innovating because I don't, I'm just leery if it because... yeah that second one. Imo they should use established best practices in terms of admin and bureaucracy as a baseline, and generally speaking let other sectors of society do the experimentation with new ideas (This is very weird for me to say because I am normally fully about progress, but when lives are quite literally on the line every day I'm slower to advocate for risktaking)and adopt them when they are shown to be worthwhile. But there would also need to be a recognition that there are areas unique to healthcare where they do need to be the ones doing the innovation. I don't know exactly how you set that up. But fortunately I am just some tranny online and not the shadow minister for health.

This happened twice when I worked for the NHS - first time was the new biochem machine that didn't work, then after a month or so when it did work, wouldn't output the results correctly, and never interacted with the hospital's systems or carried out tests to UK standards. Then we had the introduction of the Cerner/Fujitsu CRS platform, which on its day of introduction ordered 7 full blood spreads to be taken from a newborn (and the head of SCBU only spotted it because they were fresh on shift), and it kept breaking down and refusing to interact with anything. In both cases the companies promised that the systems would be able to do all of the things that were stipulated as necessities of the departments. Then the second the procurement was over, the support was handled by 3rd parties who didn't know how anything worked and didn't have the authority to redesign it to make it do what was promised. I think we managed to get rid of the biochem machine, but as far as i know RHCH Winchester is still using CRS because they weren't able to get out of the contract. That's the kind of 'innovation' that Wes wants. Not actual streamlining and efficiency improvements, but people and departments cut. Not new technology that would actually help, but big flashy machines so he can go to conferences and fly out to America and feel like the biggest most important boy.

lol my phone alerts told me about Farage coming third and apparently it's despite his supporters trying to rig it in his favour apparently the on-site crew think he's the most tedious oval office in the show's history because he won't shut the gently caress up about politics and that's not allowed to be shown in bulk anyway I'm glad that his winning personality won what it deserved: third place all that poo poo-eating for nothing eh nige
