The Office
of the Chief Scientific Officer sent their update today. You can read it by
clicking here.
As is
always the way with this publication it can only be of peripheral interest and
I would be unreasonable of me to expect anything of direct relevance. But like
so much these days it rather wound me up.
It
started off with Lord Darzi asking for submissions and suggestions for the
latest shake-up fo the NHS. Here’s my contribution. NO MORE SHAKE-UPS. In (nearly)
forty-three years of being part of the NHS I’ve lost count of the amount of
shake-ups we’ve had. None have ever actually been seen through before being
abandoned in favour of the next. And there has never been any review to look
for the good or bad in what was tried before it was abandoned.
Let’s
just stick with whatever the last one was, and give it a few years to actually
take effect.
There was
then a spotlight on a biomedical scientist being woman of the year. Is that so
surprising? However by singling her out for praise it immediately cheapens the efforts
of the thousands who (like I have done) have contributed so much and
missed events with family and friends to keep the service going.
I originally
wrote a rant about every single item in the newsletter. Perhaps I should stop
following it as it only winds me up.
