Bazoaxe Aug 2021 3:07pm, 3 Aug 2021 20,591 posts	0 Bazoaxe We were not being encouraged to return to the office so thats not an issue for me. This issue will be for though who cant WFH and on furlough which winds up soon. The restriction on stadium events seems quite baffling and that on nightclubs while understandable seems odd
Bob! Aug 2021 4:07pm, 3 Aug 2021 3,611 posts	0 Bob! Just got my ST info through for Brighton this Season. They are requiring double jabbed or negative test for all over 18's for entry to the outer Stadium immediately. Not waiting for end September.

Ness Aug 2021 1:51pm, 4 Aug 2021 16,458 posts	0 Ness That is good news for the teenagers. Mr Ness and I are thinking about changing our GP but are holding off doing it because the one thing the current surgery is good at is vaccinations. I have suggested to Mr Ness that we change after we’ve both had the booster shots. We’re moving because Mr Ness hasn’t been given a check on his thyroxine medication levels for over two years and I can’t get an appointment to discuss my HRT. I suppose both of those count as non urgent still.
EvilPixie Aug 2021 1:54pm, 4 Aug 2021 26,982 posts	0 EvilPixie mum had to call about her thyroid blood test she gets them through pharmacy for you who wouldn't supply without update HRT - surely they could at least do a phone call?
Ness Aug 2021 2:02pm, 4 Aug 2021 16,459 posts	0 Ness Not sure, Pix. Mr Ness has had no notification at all. He gets his prescription done by the pharmacy in the surgery. They do the reorder for him. I do my prescription orders online and get them from the same pharmacy. I’ve given up trying to get through on the phone to the doctors reception.
EvilPixie Aug 2021 2:04pm, 4 Aug 2021 26,985 posts	0 EvilPixie mum's surgery has always been a bit crap (they've been patients for 40+ years) but covid made it 100 times worse all contact via phone or email only if you turn up in person without an appointment they will turn you away! So if you don't have the internet and can't get through on the phone and go in person they will not help which I think is shocking
