NHS Unveils Mobile App to Let Patients Book GP Visits Online

[nnoble]

Love hearing from real citizens the complete load of crap that the universal healthcare system is. There are certainly areas in the US where we have similar problems with people dying or nearly dying from long waits but outside of a few major cities and particular problem areas it’s not an issue.

Even your understanding of ‘crap’ has to be questioned if your research on comparative health care systems is based on subjective individual evidence from even the most esteemed macrumors contributors.

Yes, it's an absolutely horrific and systemic attack perpetrated by in large a majority from a certain religion. There's literally hundreds, if not thousands of articles online about this.

I think we're doing alright.

Feel free to get your private healthcare. Or better yet move to the US where your dream healthcare awaits. We won't miss you

As for the app - if it's done well, then great. I am reserving judgement. Some of the newer healthcare apps (Echo etc) have been done quite well. I use Echo for prescriptions, and Patient Access to book appointments (but I hate Patient Access - it hasn't been updated in forever).

If ALL GP offices are required to use this app it could be revolutionary.

I'm hoping it's done to the same standard as the gov.uk website then it should be good. The ring at 8am free for all needs to stop.

Universal healthcare isn't the problem. It's the all things to all people that results in a minority being a huge drain. This is why I believe those that abuse their health with drugs/alcohol/food to such an extreme should be required to pay out their own pocket.

I have a sister who's a nurse in the NHS. She's the one who convinced me of this way of thinking. From Hep-C prisoners spitting blood into her face to hurting her back when having to move obese patients, to demented elderly strangling another young nurse. She says a lot of nurses feel this way, they want to help people who are sick and injured. Not lifetime parasites.

Also until recently someone could get a plane to the UK, walk into a hospital and receive virtually limitless healthcare. This still needs work as it can still be abused.
