Last minute wobbles

Guy's phoned me last night to say they were cancelling my clinic appointment and re-arranging for the 15th cos Dr Scoble is away! I gently pointed out that I'd been scheduled for a transplant four days before that so it'd be rather beneficial to have been at clinic BEFORE then. The appointment was swiftly reconfirmed for Monday.

Oh dear. Left hand, right hand... *lol* You'd think it be a priority to update IT in the NHS, but those outsource overpaid buggers like EDS seem to be making a right pig's ear of it. Certain things like RenalPatientView are excellent, but it's all silo'd, none of the different areas seem to be joined up. Every patient has a unique identifier (their NHS number) how hard can it be to run a data warehouse to link these things up? [/process manager]

Might phone Lisa and/or Madeleine later to confirm though and see if I can see them on Monday, too.
