  2. More evidence, should you need it of #Tory defunding of the #NHS;

    At the same time private #healthcare is trumpeting instant access to health professionals, waiting times on #NHS111 have reached nearly half an hour (on average) with nearly a fifth of callers just giving up;

    so now the service the Tories pretended would help deal with capacity issues in the main #healthservice is also under staffed;

    the wreckers continue to laugh all the way to their backers' bank!

  3. CW: NHS

    #NHS111 is utterly overwhelmed and broken. I've made two calls and five online requests. I've had two call backs from clinicians (around five hours on average from a third call) and two from nonclinical staff asking if I still needed the call (both more than 12 hours later). All while my breathing got worse and my inhaler ran down. The staff have no chance. #NHS #Tories

  4. My #hospital #doctor sister is still at work - she should've finished at 5. She has so many sick #patients she called in tears.

    Her husband is on nights in a different hospital & me & my Mum have put their kids to bed.

    What the fuck is going on?!

  5. After 3 days of no no food, constant vomiting & inability to keep down even water, my other half went to hospital today. We tried #NHS111 yesterday, Xmas day, but got no answer. Tried again this morning, still no answer after an hour queue. Called 999 & they assessed an ambulance was required but with a wait of more than 7 hours. Advise was to get a taxi to A&E but the nearest is 16 miles away. So £62 taxi ride later she waits an hour in A&E for triage then 4 hours for a doctor.

    The only time NHS 111 service received more calls was during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic

  7. Slightly troubling. #NHS111 recorded message redirecting people to "nhs.111.uk/" for documentary help. It doesn't exist (although miscreants could set it up), and will only cause confusion for people needing the service they are supposedly being directed to. #careless

  8. A big Thank You to #WestonGeneralHospital A&E Department, #NHS and #NHS111, for treating and looking after me Tuesday. Especially Doctor Kim. 👍❤️😎

  9. Wrote a thing about how and why a #DigitalHealth intervention (#NHS111 online) disappeared from view.
    Might be of interest to fellow #sociologists, #UrgentCare researchers #HealthServicesResearch peeps, and fans of Susie Scott's 'Sociology of Nothing'.
