NHS vaccinations made affordable.

CliveS

We hear a lot about NHS being overworked and stretched to the limit because all injections are performed by doctors or nurses BUT WHY???

What we need is a micro finger pricking lancelet with a hole down the middle with the vaccine in a small squeezable rubberoid top that can be inject by the patient themselves.

All the time wasted by NHS can be saved and also the volumes of instructions for use, H&S warnings, and legal getout clauses in all different languages can be put into the QR code likes this church funding one. See attached.  This can be posted to millions with no waste paper, injection paraphernalia, syringes etc. thus saving rubbishing the planet

  • how can you be sure that  a person who cannot read English  will manage  to read a QR code? Also can we be sure that there will not be loads of wounds/ infections due to folk not following good hygiene process. (after all this is a country where there are  ~ 2,5 million cases of hygiene related food poisoning every year - stabbing someone is more risky )

    Amusingly I have only just acquired a phone that does read the higher density QR codes - and I'm not exactly techno-phobic - I just have a job that means I am not in the habit of carrying a phone and do not need a new one every few years.

    But in terms of load reduction, there are plenty of folk who can do injections properly who are not NHS doctors - dentists, vets are obvious, the may well be others not coming  to mind right now, and in any case more could be trained. It takes less money to train a doctor than to employ one for 5 years, so I  do not see the problem with upping medical student quotas a  bit.
