Mayday for Nurses

Mayday for Nurses

Five and Dime

Sometimes something suprises me. Today it was a query which I was convinced I wouldn't be able to satisfy. I rang the requestor, told him as much but that I'd try. This involved chasing poor Joe M. into a carpark! Thing is we hold the information requested. Cool, I have the name of the person behind it. I ring the Land of Manc, there is a palpable air of mystery about the place, nobody knows the number I want. I catch Pete who gives me the number of someone who might know. This person has doesn't know either but gives me a number elsewhere out of the Land of Manc toward the Land of the Lakes but down a bit. It's not the number I want but might be someone who knows the number I need. Thankfully they do and I get not one but two numbers out of them. I eventually get to speak to the person I need to speak to, they have the information, an hour later it is in my grasp and on its way to the requestor who can now go on TV and speak with facts. I'm impressed with the help I got along the way, it was all helpful and the person I spoke to in the end was extremely helpful and incredibly pleasant, but a tortuous route to the end of the tale. This is the new NHS a place where corporate memory has been replaced by corporte rumour and guess work. Thankfully it wasn't the PCT!

End of Feb and March beckons, oddly enough we don't seem to have caught up with the financial situation in the rest of the NHS, there is even the rumour of money. This means the rapid pulling together of bids. Bet nobody (I include myself in this) expected that.

Nicola introduces me to nettle tea. It wasn't as bad as I suspected. It's meant to be good for me too!

Arsenal play Blackburn in the cup. It ain't exciting. Nil - Nil at half time.

Reminder to self, Helen is developing some interesting CAS ideas that we need to explore fully. Improvements on stuff we've done in the past maybe with the odd nice twist.
