Have you been happy with accessing NHS care online?My husband was diagnosed with cancer in November 2020. He was told his diagnosis over the phone by a consultant he had never even met. Just a faceless person giving out life changing news. Following that he had several more phone calls from different consultants, at least one of which, we found difficult to hear and understand, mainly due to the background noise and interruptions in the consultants office (or wherever he was calling from). He then also had a video call, and this was so much better. It was almost like being in the consultants room with him as you would be for an outpatient appointment. I think, if done properly, for appointments where examinations or tests aren't needed then video calls are great. They save time and travelling for the patient. I don't think bad news should EVER be given to anyone over the phone, not least because the caller has no idea of what support (if any) that patient has.ViewDate:

Is Labour's new WASPI promise credible?It would be nice to think it was going to happen, but there is no way the country can afford it. The worrying thing is that there are many women of my age who believe everything they see and hear.
