NHS 'no chance of training enough staff'Experts are warning nurses and GP shortages will worsen in England, unless radical action is taken. Take American nurses... There is an influx! Maybe if they hadn’t scrapped the training schemes they wouldn’t have these problems. I understand they’re starting up again.

GP receptionist's rant at ‘moaning’ patients who waste doctors’ timeRose Baker, 24, says patients should pay 15p on painkillers not cigarettes. Absolutely fantastic! It is time patients understand that their common cold (sniffle) is not as important as say a chest infection, where blood is being coughed up. It is time patients did as their parents did, go to the pharmacy or use home remedies for common ills. Make her right maybe doctors receptionist should stop thinking their the experts and being so cocky the doctors are the experts! always asking your business don't have to explain myself to them it's the doctor I go to see not the receptionist stop trying to be a busy body you're a receptionist
