Which might actually end up being the most efficient process they have attempted in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Phantom Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Good thing? Assuming you've got Private Medical. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/private-gp-clinic-an-alternative-and-not-trying-to-replace-the-nhs/ I know that Manx Care has reached out to some of the Govt Depts to get them to ask their contacts how many people have Private Med. I got an email from one of them yesterday asking if I had it personally, if my Co offered it, how many staff we had etc. I'm sure I saw a few days ago somewhere that almost half the population have Private Medical now. Did just have a quick dig, but can't remember where I saw it. I actually recently got kicked off my old Docs as I moved a few years ago out of their catchment area. I got away with it for a bit, but now they are 're-aligning' and told me I have to register with my local practice. I have since called the Docs in my catchment area over 10 times with no answer, just to get registered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go in to arrange for my patient access to be set up, staff sitting at the desk with phones ringing all around them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy for her to have move away from a system that she knew wasn’t working. I wish them both all the best. Karen Wilson may have got the idea from me during a visit to the Onchan practice a couple of years back after trying to get an appointment with her. An excellent GP.

I was told recently that Dr Wilson is unable to see her NHS patients at the new private clinic in Douglas as Manx Care have objected, is this still the case or was this overturned recently? She is a very good doctor whom l would prefer to stay with even if this means going private, and before anyone asks l don't have private medical care.

Well, it does seem to be the solution, if something is broken, don't try to fix it, but instead create a tiered system so that those with money will be OK.

Beyond Belief Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/manx-care-really-disappointed-over-leaked-survey-feedback/ It was reported on the 26 April 2022: “Manx Care says it's 'really disappointed' that the results of an internal survey on workplace culture were leaked to the media. However, the results from it – which accused Manx Care of being understaffed, having a 'blame culture', allowing discrimination and providing 'fake support' – were subsequently leaked. One respondent called for Manx Care to be 'abolished'. The internal survey was sent it to around 300 Manx Care staff members. It was the first-time doctors based at Noble's Hospital were invited to participate in the survey which 49 responded to. What does it say when only 1/6 of the members respond? Why was it only sent to 300 Manx Care staff members? Do the opinions workers on the coal face not matter? Is Manx Care to afraid of the finding if they were to ask all staff to participate in the survey? Since the publication of the leaked report, what has changed. What is being done to stop the bullying and sexism culture within Manx Care? Staff are too afraid to whistle-blow, especially after the Dr Ranson case. Staff don’t want to go to work as the culture is toxic, which in turn leads to a shortage of staff, which then impacts of services, which on the health of those that requires services from Manx Care, which increases costs due to agency staff having to be employed at a premium rate and people claiming sickness benefits, where is Lawrie Hooper and the list goes on. The opinion of many is that Isle of Man Ambulance Service, a vital part of the Isle of Man Health Services, led by the “Brotherhood” is a prime example of a bullying and sexism culture and for several years nothing has been done to address it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
