Again regardless of what happens to the contracts it won't impact on any other service, junior doctors do work 7 days however therefore their service is 24/7.

It was not designed to cause offence at all, they may have separate specialisms perhaps?

Actually, it was something one nurse could have done in one visit. THEY said that, not me. District nurses are rushed off their feet at the best of times so it would help if they, or whoever does the rotas, could be a bit more organised.

I used my mother's experience as an anecdotal reference which was valid. It's not your business whether she needs nursing care or the family could do it.

One error is not indicative of a failing service.

You have made that clear, by asking me the same was that you making that point or just being facetious?

If it was one error that would be amazing. But is isn't... It's been a series of ridiculous **** ups. For instance, she's been prescribed Warfarin when her stroke was due to a bleed, not a clot, and Warfarin could have killed her. Luckily, the family spotted it. There's been a whole host of mistakes that've come one after another.

That was me making a point. Obviously.

But again how is the imposition of the junior drs contracts to remedy this?

It isn't Kizzy, it will not remedy anything, all it will create is more suspicion and disillusionment.

You are right, you are possibly wasting your time my friend but the very best of luck in your decent quest in trying to get that point across as how bad this imposing of the contract will be.
