[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1996685"] [USER=468714]@kitedoc[/USER] Your concerns about how the system works in the UK is valid however the problem we have is too many people using a resource that is over stretched and where in some cases moral is low. As and example when we moved to where we are there was/is a health centre that serviced around 3500 people may be more and over the last few years the place, as in amount of house built and people moving in to the area, has certainly doubled if not more. The Health Centre is still the same size it does seem to have more people in there but still the same amount of Doctors servicing the now increased amount of people. So our place works in the same way that [USER=181361]@helensaramay[/USER] does and I do not see my GP for any diabetes issues as in regular check ups, eye screening etc. I do see him if I have other issues, like needing some pain relief when I wreaked my muscles after a massive hypo a couple of years ago. All diabetic stuff is handled by a DSN who runs through a whole series of tests etc, then all information is recorded in the computer which can be accessed by any of the medical staff. He does read it as I sometimes get request from him for some info. Its just the way it now works and considering that he is a GP and probably not specialise in one particular subject I'm happy with way things work with the DSN. [/QUOTE]
