Can we start a ‘medics corner’ to the list of topics?

Thought it would be useful to have this....think there is something similar for teachers on here

Potential topics could be employment issues, people looking for opinions/advice on junior doctor issues, bullying, flexible working, work/life balance as a medic and a parent ....the list is endless!

Please can it include paramedics? We sometimes feel a bit forgotten, or called ambulance drivers Grin

HCP corner is a good title.

Lentilbaby · 02/04/2018 17:34

🙋🏻‍♀️ It's a yes from me!

Swallowedbyasnake · 02/04/2018 17:11

Sounds good

Or under work? Employment issues?

I like HCP corner too....that can be taken to include pharmacists too

I think putting it in health section would make it more likely attract threads looking for advice so ‘Other Stuff’ section would work better

People don’t post questions in the staff room about their kids, they manage to get it in the education/primary/secondary topics.

Yes 'the mess' means army to me.

MrsJoshDun · 02/04/2018 17:00

The Mess makes me think of RAF.

cupoflemontea · 02/04/2018 17:00

I'd like it.

I'd like it to be called 'HCP corner' - hopefully would stop anyone wandering in and requesting advice.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 02/04/2018 16:50

Could call it ‘the mess’.

That's a good idea! Also if medic/doctor isn't in the title people might be less likely to post looking for medical advice.

Twodogsandahooch · 02/04/2018 16:39

Could call it ‘the mess’.

RebelRogue · 02/04/2018 16:36

Maybe you could have a Staff room section under Health? Like there is in education?

Good idea to include nurses, pharmacist etc. So many things that affect us all working in healthcare. Could call it HCPs and allied professionals corner? Not sure if that’s too wordy....but something along those lines

Interested! Great idea OP, thanks.

Sparklefloof · 02/04/2018 16:22

Interested! Could pharmacists be included also? There is a lot of change and scrutiny occurring atm!

Bythebeach · 02/04/2018 16:16

Interested

Reallycantbebothered · 02/04/2018 16:15

Interested...could this include nurses?

iklboo · 02/04/2018 16:13

I love how the Daily Fail calls everyone even remotely associated with health care provision a 'medic'. The vast majority of its readers then think it's a 'bungle' (another DM favourite word) by a doctor.

GeminiWarrior · 02/04/2018 16:12

Interested

AnnaMagnani · 02/04/2018 16:10

I would be interested.

Girlsonfilm- my thoughts exactly. Let’s add venting about the latest medic/healthcare bashing article in daily mail to that list aswell!

Great idea.

WheelyCote · 02/04/2018 15:54

I'd be interested too
