Struggling to get medical help this evening!

TheCornish

Good evening all... I have injured myself but cannot ask for help due to me being neurodiverse.  I dont know about anyone else but if its an emergency you can text 999 but this should be an option for 111 too, and other services.

  • That sounds familiar for 999 but always good to have a reminder!

    I'd settle for just being able to use the GP PATCHS system out of hours. I work in IT, and it really confuses me why a messaging system only works 9-5. The only reasons I can come up with are so that they don't have to schedule maintenance (just do it out of hours), and to create enough of a barrier that people won't use it for trivial illnesses.

    It is for monitoring Service Level Agreements.

    If someone calls up and there is no-one to take the message then a badly designed system would flag this up as a missed response time event so the lazy approach is to only leave it on when there are people available to answer.
