You must be one of the lucky ones.

I haven't actually seen a NHS GP doctor face to face since before covid. Not because I haven't needed to, but getting an appointment is almost impossible.

I've been reasonably healthy, so immediate access hasn't been needed. But for convenience and speed of access I now go straight to private, who do all the tests and consultations. They tell my GP surgery what they need to do for me

No. It's because they're being paid peanuts.

Not according to Statements from BMA,

You've got to love this sort of logic.

Is it not true then? Some professions have actually disappeared or as good as.

Not my point at all.

Personal, but my youth big band has had its invitation to the Vienne Jazz Festival confirmed, and we've got enough players to take both senior and junior bands. We get to play on the excellent free stage that gets an audience of a few hundred. The next piece in the jigsaw will be if a player who played in my junior band in 2017 and played on the free stage with us that year is confirmed to play in the 10,000-seater Roman amphitheatre this year too... let's just say that her progress has been remarkable, and if she does get to play there, she owes me, as I was the one who put her forward to the festival manager.
