Mounting of paper work has made many Family Physicians uninterested in becoming Trainers. Gone are the days when training used to be a pleasure.<br /><br />
The Trainers and Trainees are saddled with so much paper work that they have so little time for patients. Training a Family Physician is no longer the joy it used to be. Being a Trainee used to be one of the best time in a Family Physician's lifetime. All are no longer so. Thanks to mountain of paper works. Neither are happy anymore<br /><br />
The Trainers are leaving en masse. Some are even retiring prematurely. The younger Doctors are no longer taking interest in Family Medicine. The end result in UK now is an acute on chronic shortage of Family Physicians, despite a growing population.<br /><br />

Perhaps the best way to know how good and valued a Doctor is should be from Patients' annual feedbacks. It appears to be a better barometer than the current exercise of Doctors annual appraisals and Revalidation which is costing the tax payer millions of pounds annually. Patients do value and respect their competent doctors. It's time this Government starts listening to Patients. @Mustapha Tahir<br /><br />

<br /><br />
Britain is one of the richest countries in the world. It's legal system has been the envy of the world. Not anymore. Severe cuts to legal aid for the poor is leading to self representation in court. This delays court sessions, and ultimately more than likely to lead to miscarriages of justice.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
To deny the poor in the society fund to get the best representation in court is akin to making the law, and justice, only accessible to the rich. Now that is what I call Injustice.<br /><br />

Dr Mustapha Tahir: As shown in the link above, the current exercise by the Government in Legal Aid is very likely to lead to miscarriages of Justice.<br /><br />
The more Judges speak out about this despicable cuts the more likely the Government to listen. Perhaps with time, the Judges should consider joining their legal colleagues, the Barristers and Solicitors in a strike. Perhaps only then will the Ministry of Justice realise its policy is derailing The English Legal system that is admired by so many countries across the globe.<br /><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Dr Mustapha Tahir: The above ruling, that lead to a compensation to a patient,whose confidential medical records were released, without consent, is timely in view of wide electronic sharing of patients' medical records by health care professionals.<br />
<br />
Whilst it is true sharing records electronically by health care professionals can facilitate the medical management of Patients conditions, it is only right to obtain a Patient's consent unless under very rare and exceptional emergency circumstances, such as an only way to facilitate saving life.<br />
<br />
As a Family Physician, I Dr Mustapha Tahir, totally welcome this ruling. Patients should be able to trust their doctor. Divulging medical records without consent undermines the trust between a Physician and a Patient. That goes to the very heart of medical practice.<br />
<br />
Patients should have a right to their records. Doctors are custodians to those records. Mustapha Tahir. <complete id="goog_1063441671">@MustaphaTahir </complete>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17703434832303117095noreply@blogger.com0
