Title: Is it dependent on.....
Post by: Postmeno3 on August 22, 2021, 10:45:46 AM
Hi,
I had a bit of a lightbulb moment there. I just got to wondering if the NHS practices we receive and the subsequent treatment plans could be based entirely on where we live and therefore how financially there is resource? Different regions within one country and different countries, even within the UK, are very differently resourced which is bound to affect practice? It's maybe more a case of what isn't available to practitioners who are subject to these controls? Maybe they are doing the best they can within such limitations?
(I think this is in the wrong section, possibly. Apologies!)
Any thoughts?
💚

Yep,when I lived in Wales,the NHS was appalling sadly,the difference was incredible when I moved to Wiltshire,it's such a shame as it really shouldn't be like that

It depends too on whether a patient can get to speak face2face with a GP as well as waiting lists getting longer and longer  :-\ as many Wards remain under C-19 regulations.
