I have been inspired by the taking down of my last thread and by the 2008 article i have posted below to bring into question whether we should be encouraged to review our general practitioners online.

Never... You'd never get treated again... And also think of that nurse that committed suicide from public humiliation.

Personally, I think everything about everybody being available on line is horrible.

How we all feel about our work colleagues in say a ditribution centre or an avon lady being reviewed on line.

I don't actually think it would achieve much.. However I do agree with reviews of the actual establishments that were absolutely being done on a no-notification basis..
I know places like oap homes get told in advance before their inspections, but they just get one that is 'un-notified' in advance...we can all make improvements for 24 hrs!
I know I have been given nhs reviews to do of my old gp surgery.... They then sent a newsletter out to patients saying that it was the patients fault that they had been pulled to pieces, going to lose funding and therefore a nurse.. Due to the patients giving them a bad review!!!! So in the end the patients being honest.. We just lost out!!

I talk of my treatment and my HCP's on line, but it is totally honest of happenings, and circumstances, but I would not directly review them...

I am locking this thread as it isnt creditable nor positive to seek
reviews into 'any NAMED individual HCP person' .
Should they take offence - it can be libel ...
Total breach of confidentiality !!!!
So to PROTECT all members and the function of this forum
I am locking this thread down .

James12 - please PM 'me' if you wish .
With Thanks.
Anna.
