truthlogic Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 *Have called them a few times over the years and found that majority of the time the person on the other end is more than Likly to be reading from promts ,* The thing which is most disconcerting is the very limited amount of resources available for these NHS advisors the fact that the advisor has no access to the Internet which wad evident by them not being able to provide me a phone number for a particular children's hospital department which I found by a simple I phone google search!

Badlittlepup Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've found them quite helpful when I've used them. Some of my friends have told me when you have a small child and you're a first time parent they're invaluable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 *Have called them a few times over the years and found that majority of the time the person on the other end is more than Likly to be reading from promts ,* Yeah but given that 99% of your posts on here have been largely incoherent ramblings about conspiracy theories it's hardly surprising. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=603757&highlight=truthlogic http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7254090&postcount=84 http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=7212581&postcount=16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nataliie Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hasn't it been axed, anyway? No way?! argh... hearing that sentence a lot recently. I've contacted it a few times and it's always been very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bold So why on earth were you bothering them for something you can find out for yourself?? I've used them a few times, including the occasion when I'd turned a fetching shade of yellow one Sunday morning, and they advised me to go down to the doctors' co-operative (or whatever it is) at the NGH. From there, I was taken in an ambulance to the Hallamshire, which came as a bit of a shock, because it didn't occur to me I might be really ill! If I hadn't been able to phone up NHS Direct, I'd have just made a doctor's appointment at my local surgery and probably wouldn't have seen anybody for days.

BobbyBunny Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've found them helpful after hours or at the weekend. Better than rushing to A&E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthlogic Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Point is if they are there to serve such a wide range of the population why do the advisors not even have access to a Internet source ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampent Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The number should be free, as it takes ages to get thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 On all the occasions i've rung, I found them useful, glad too, most of those times were for other people who really didn't have a clue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
