Our surgery is up-to-date. All of their missives/calls for patients appear as scrolling messages on a large LED display board. Someone has obviously been trained in its use because the messages scroll up and down as well as right to left.

Bring back the bells with the little waving numbered tags is all I can say.
I don't even want to try to understand the new contract system that means doctors who have worked together for years now find it better (more financially attractive?) to work as seperate practices under the same roof.
