Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Hi again all, Back again after 8 weeks of no computer. :-( Week and 6000 messages later I'll suggest some of the reading I did between computer repairs and scrambling to get a new one. Noam Chomsky's, Understanding Power will give perspective to nearly all discussed in those 8 weeks. Guess I wasn't totally away. :-) Wanita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Welcome back into contact Xena. I get the impression that, in many places, people are still being blamed for 'failing to change' as individuals, when the real culprit is the lack of infrastructure support. There is still the same tension that has always been there, about who will support families who need support, if the HVs do not. The old story about being able to free more time by working in different ways has been implemented in lots of places, but the 'free time' is too often used to reduce staff numbers or cover vacancies from poor recruitment, instead of expanding the remit of the HV. There are some real success stories as well, though, and it is always good to hear of examples. The other interesting thing is what people mean by working 'in a public health focussed way.' Would be interested in hearing opinions about that, as it seems to still be a contentious phrase. best wishes xenadion01 wrote: >Hi, just wanted to say I am up and running again.
