[access-uk] Re: In Touch Action Line

Hi Ray
The CEO in Grampian, who I Emailed on Friday, was very pleased. I explained that I wanted them to know they had got this so right, and consistently, as I've dealt with them for 10 years. But I think the circumstances were exceptional this time. The main thing is that they know. If editors and groups in our community don't want to focus on the positives, and only wish to dwell on the negatives, I suppose that's all we'll ever come to read and expect. 

Thanks for yours and everyone else's support.

Jackie

All in favour, as I've indicated, of prasing the care and attention
you received whilst in hospital Jackie.   That doesn't come to readily
from many in this community.

Two possible internet and circulating audio mags come to mind to get
your message across.  Soundings and Soundaround.  The latter I've only
recently had cause to become re-acquainted with, and I find its
approach a bit odd or quaint to say the least, but I think it is very
popular.

Hope you do have luck with In Touch though, and maybe its a case of
keeping on trying there.

Cheers,

From Ray

Iain, I'd have thought so, but I think people maybe enjoy reading doom
and gloom.  I've had a very positive response from the CEO in
Grampian, but nothing at all so far from any of our outlets, as I call
them, in the VI community.

I think that given previous negative NHS and other public service
stories, it should be covered. It would make a pleasant change.

Thanks George.  Ian and I are in touch off list, but it's obviously
his decision whether he thinks there is a good story in this for
Disability Now.  Wearing a journalist hat here, I would bite someone's
hand off for a story like that, but it's not my call.  I just want to
do the right thing here and thank the relevant people, giving them
acknowledgement where it is due.  They didn't just look after me like
a baby, they looked after Ian too.  They were even wanting him to stay
with me over Christmas because they thought it was terrible that he
had to travel so far.  But we declined because of young Ian being on
his own over the holiday.  That's the sort of generosity we're talking
about here.

Thanks again.

Hi Jackie,

Let's hope Ian Macrae, formerly with In Touch, is following this
thread.  Ian is now Editor of "Disability Now" Magazine, and may well
be interested in some good NHS news.

George.

Already did that last week George, with no suitable response.  Have
just done likewise via the web with You and Yours, so we'll see.  At
the end of the day, it probably doesn't sound much to anyone else, but
I feel passionately about it because we are all quick to moan when
it's not a good outcome, and I know those people went well beyond the
call of duty for Ian and me.  That's why it means so much.

Thanks though.

Alex, I think it's the one Peter White and company give out at the end
of the programme isn't it?  Thanks anyway.

I think this is the general phone number for radio four rather than a
dedicated line for in touch.
