Blood tests are the lifeblood of the NHS 😈300,000 are done every day 😈 50 million are ordered by GP’s annually😈that’s 14 per person each year.
Speedy booking is the latest NHS system for arranging a test. Except it is anything but speedy😈 You go on-line and first you have to prove who you are by registering and giving them your NHS number, but don’t take too long or you will be timed out. Next you will be shown a calendar of available appointments, but you will probably find they are fully booked for the next few weeks. If you can find a slot you have to be quick or you will find someone has booked before you.

Dearest John,. A recent visit to our local MK NHS Hospital Accident and Emergency Department, for advice and help, and assessment for MOLLY, with respect to a recent trip fall outside MK Theatre, on SUNDAY 8 th FEB. 2025. ALL we can report was that all though we had to be patient, we recieved peronal. polite, professional care, with exit after care advice. WE are thankful for our NHS service.
Another subject John is my condition in old age, I keep my days occupied, talking, doing communial jig saws in the retirement village foyer, and talking like an old hen to all the passing residents who enquire, how is one health wise, and when will we {Brian and I] complete our jigsaw? Our latest one is of spanish/pirate galleons consisting of blue.greens, and browns-the principle colours= It is a challenge 6000 pieces and some 4foot wide 3&1/2 foot deep? GOOD Gracious me. My langage like the jigssaw is challengeing within in my mind?
ANother NHS survey at 82, I am being asked to undertake part in the survey, with respect to a mental interagation. [I assume to help the elderly population come to terms and understand what dementia and alzhmiers can mean, and help one to understand the conditions and how these problems affect daily life.
Interesting, will these modern day surveys on health for the daily life in the UK, challege and change the philosophy and lifestyle care that EXTRCARE Charities TRUST COVENTRY, provide, I trust they will not but encourage a level of awareness of the life styles as one grows older in life, and has to meet the different challenges on a daily basis.
