So, a lot seems to have happened in the last week or so. I am continually astonished how doors seem to keep opening if you come from a place of genuinely trying to help others. As many of you know, I've been trying to get my hands on APIs which would allow my software to… Continue reading NHS Startup Part V – Gateway

NHS Startup Part IV – Building Software/Apps
Building an app/software that can interface with existing software seems damn near impossible in the NHS. Here is a summary of what I have learnt so far for those who are interested. PART I - Basic Definitions GPSoC = GP Systems of Choice. GPSoC are an organisation that help GP surgeries have he best technology… Continue reading NHS Startup Part IV – Building Software/Apps
“Let’s Have a Meeting About It”
Junior doctors rotate this month. The new graduates will start work and the people a bit higher up the ladder will move on to other places. This is a bit of a chaotic time in the hospital and stressful for the whole department. Usually it is a cacophony of going to inductions, trying to get… Continue reading “Let’s Have a Meeting About It”
NHS Health Startup Part III – The Dinosaurs

The people who toil every day and are doing the important work - taking… Continue reading NHS Health Startup – Part Two

Maleficence & Beneficence
I really don't think the majority of the people out there understand what happens in hospitals. Most people haven't got a clue. The number of parents that come in with their babies and toddlers because they're having diarrhoea and vomiting and demand treatment is astounding. The number of relatives that demand that their elderly relative receives "the works",… Continue reading Maleficence & Beneficence
People Are Leaving the NHS
People are leaving the National Health Service (NHS) in droves. There is widespread discontent amongst staff. Not just physicians, but the whole gamut of healthcare providers. Yesterday I wrote about how paying people more and more is not the solution to getting them to be more productive. It is also not the way to retain… Continue reading People Are Leaving the NHS
