RJAH is brilliant, and the Veterans' unit particularly so - and it's only about 40 minutes from Teetering Towers.
And it's NHS! I asked the boss (a Reserve RAMC Lt Col) why the waiting lists were so short. Simple he says: you give a soldier (or sailor or airman) or veteran an 0900 appointment, he (or she) will be there at 0845 to make sure they're not late.
Apparently an astonishing 40% of NHS Out Patient appointments are no shows, with no contact with the hospital........
Which accounts for some of the waiting list ..........
