When we visited hospital the other week to discuss my son's prospective operation, we had one meeting with the consultant, anaesthetist, intensive care consultant, ward nurse and therapist. As they all worked in the same hospital the meeting was relatively easy to arrange and made decision making more beneficial.

Without it, we would have needed several meetings (more time off work and school) probably talked at cross purposes and added stress and confusion. It was priceless to do it that way.

For so its faults, and there are many I'm sure, we really benefit from it and I know other parents who feel the same.

I don't think you all understand what I've been saying. Stuart, it works that way here too where you get to talk to everyone beforehand. Yes, you have all those people at the Hospital here if needed. In the UK you see your GP, and anything else after that is at the Hospital. All the Consultants with their staff/offices/medical facilities everything in one place. Taking up hospital resources, space etc etc.
Here in Germany, those Consultants will have their own practices away from the Hospital. Yes, they may refer you to the Hospital for treatment/operations, but they are not taking up the resources of the Hospital.

The bottom line is that the NHS is always in crisis. The German Health system is Gold Standard. Maybe the NHS can learn a thing or two as to how others work? A better more efficient NHS would benefit everyone !

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing.

Are those consultants you mention the ones who will carry out the operations at the hospital?

The ones we met were the actual staff that vould have done the operation and the aftercare. We were not referred by a GP as we were already in the system.
