Sadly like all jobs, some good, some bad. The bad are riding a crest off a wavw. Cause it's just impossible every member of the NHS is good. Although a lot are and deserve applause

Most of the nursing staff are between good and outstanding. Over the last year (lots of visits) I have found the standard of receptionists generally quite poor, offhand sometimes. Some of em wouldn't keep a job at Kwik Fit, but seem shielded by the badge.

You forgot the full stop.

We had SS spouting off for weeks about how the virus wasn't real. Then he, supposedly, caught it and went quiet for a while and was in hospital. Now he comes back and has the audacity to slag off anything to do with the NHS. There are a couple of recent deaths of nurses who have died from covid-19 caught from treating patients.

The NHS need to be applauded not slagged off. The staff are very brave in putting their lives on the line to help others.

OK, this is the view of my missus who runs a big dept in the local hospital (a medium size one in UK terms).
As with any big employer (the NHS has about 1.5 million employees), about half of the staff, clinical and non-clinical, are good or better.  About a quarter are just about justifying their employment, and a quarter are virtually unemployable elsewhere or would be sacked in any private business.  It's almost impossible to dismiss NHS staff; they just get shunted to a different job.

In her dept, about 25% are not stepping up to the mark.  They are either skiving off under the cover of self-isolation, or complaining about having to have any contact with patients and put themselves at any sort of risk.  The majority are stepping up though and doing a fine job under increasingly difficult circumstances.

Her colleague who is in charge of all the doctors, says that about 60% are stepping up but 40% are showing their true colours.  You'll never hear that on the news because of course the NHS is bulletproof and beyond any sort of criticism.  It's such a shame that the majority are covering for the slack from their poor colleagues.  Some might be good clinicians, but they are refusing to do anyting beyond their normal day job, and that's the ones who are turning up for work.  She told me of a consultant A&E doctor who three weeks ago emailed in and said she was self-isolating because she was pregnant and didn't want to take any risks.  She won't be coming back in until June/July or whenever it's all over.  She's on a big six figure salary and has essentially awarded herself a three month paid holiday.  HR are still working out what to do with cases like that.

Yes, the majority of the NHS are brilliant, but there are thousands that, just like in any other sector, are nothing but a strain on the public purse.

My niece runs a small department, for diagnosing chronic pain, in a hospital. Lots of the staff including her are being retrained in diagnosing covid-19 and how to look after them. She admits that she was looking forward to it but all of her staff have seen the necessity of it and are now working looking after covid patients. No crying off sick they're just getting on with what needs to be done.

Nearly everyone does a valuable job (all industries), and it's pretty dangerous to laud everyone who works for a certain organisation as specifically being saint like. There are some absolute heroes in the NHS, and equally some makeweights. The thing is that it appeals to the virtue signalling leftist narrative to 'champion' the NHS as it's very easy to do and plays to that section of society. If you love the NHS you must be a good, wholesome and caring person/business.

NHS staff are tremendous imo  ...brilliant all round  .... those at the bottom especially get so little reward and those at the top work under a lot of stress .

Bullying is rife and money gets wasted at top level  ...they're also doing very dangerous work at the moment ...  but the plaudits and financial rewards no doubt will go to the top brass after this is over , while the hard workers will just get a pat on the back and a well done, you were all heroes Sad

It was done with a vindictiveness. There was all manner of people on those busy tube train carriages. The people calling construction workers out essentially resent them being on 'their' trains.

The drone thing was done when multiple people were not following the rules to the letter. Including Sky News.

Well Boris & his chancellor were out clapping the NHS staff  - so i'd guess from your statement you regard Johnson as a virtue signalling leftist as you put it
The fact is someone putting their life on the line is an absolute hero and deserves utmost respect

Drove someone to Pontefract this morning for cancer treatment. She has no immune system, is self isolating for 12 weeks and hospital is not a good place for her. We eventually got in to be told by receptionist that the appointment has been moved to Tuesday, 'someone should have rung you, sorry'.
Clerical lot are lacking, this isn't a rare occurrence for us.
