Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

One of the problems with trying to effect change in the NHS, captured beautifully:pic.twitter.com/GZVcTreJ3o
25 years working in the NHS, absolute nightmare trying to achieve agreement to effect positive change, it was so absurd and ridiculous no one would believe it.
I now wonder if anything I did during those 25 years actually achieved anything ... I worked in non-clinical research.
How disheartening. Sorry Fiona. That's a lot of time out of your life to find yourself questioning the value of it. :(
It is disheartening, I knew it at the time, but I enjoyed some of the work, enjoyed working with some colleagues. was paid well, had a final salary pension etc etc. Most of the research was funded by Scottish Govt and it seems to have done no good whatsoever.
The price tag is no indication of quality, sadly. I always ask the same question after any 'intervention': What changed? If the answer is nothing, then everybody just wasted their time and money (our money, when gov funded) for no good reason. No matter how clever it sounded.
With a lot of research projects, there is no way of knowing whether they had an impact or not but most of my work was around recruitment and retention of doctors and I only see things getting worse but of course there are many reasons for that.
Yes, that's a multi-faceted problem. Not easy to measure the impact of your work without a control group, protected from all the other influences. Impossible to find, I'd suggest.
