[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 664422, member: 17713"] I am a little bit. Our GP was CQC inspected last week, and as Chairperson of the PPG and representing 10000 patients I was asked to attend. My neighbour (who has had horrific cancer in neck) last week said "i hope they pay you or reimburse you". I said no. His response was basically "*** you are off your head! However, I just see that I have had 30 years of exceptionally good nhs care with my diabetes, so if I can't do things for the NHS and my practice and patients then its a poor **** show. Lots of people get involved with trials etc to benefit diabetics in the future. Lots of other people do voluntary work. I just get on well with my health professionals and want to give something back. Criticism is really easy to give towards the NHS, but actually turning negatives in to positives and trying to help is much more satisfying. Next year, every single GP Practice in England must have a PPG and prove that they are listening to Patients. So this will effectively be a listening action for them to take.... The GP's at my practice were trained years ago in diabetes, they cannot possibly be experts in every illness, every medication and writing out a perfect prescription etc for a pump that they will never have seen or know anything about. Thats like me being trained as an astronaut 10 years previously at least and being expected to go and hop into a space rocket and flying to the moon without any further training. I think Patients forget that most GP's will not have anything to do with your diabetes at all once you have a pump. 3 out of my 3 different practices and their GP's in 4 years readily admit they know nothing and literally wait for me to tell them what I need. Hope all goes well for you on your pump btw... [/QUOTE]
