Tomorrow, Saturday, I start my #CFR training. That's community first responder, in the UK the government has run down the #NHS, specifically the #Ambulance and #AandE services, so much they now rely on volunteers with just 4 days training to provide life support while ambulances queue outside hospitals.

Ranting aside, does anyone out there know what I might expect from the training and I guess more importantly, from actually getting called out to a patient?

I'd like to see some hard figures - a business plan, if you like - on the cost of a #GP and #AandE visiting charge system such that proposed by #SajidJavid for the #NHS. From a political perspective my fear is that the notion may gain traction. Better to keep things simple, and free, and employ a stick approach to re-engineer people's behaviour as health system users.

Why is the most disturbing thing to me about this #Chippendales #documentary series the revelation that the dancers would just randomly kiss audience members on the mouth as part of their shows. 😄
