Patientline Share Discussion Threads

[philmiboots] 15/3/2007 21:31

Barbara Wood, chair of the British Medical Association's Patient Liaison Group, added: "Research has clearly demonstrated that mobiles pose little or no risk to hospital equipment. We welcome the fact that trusts are being encouraged to allow patients and staff to use them, although this needs to be done in a way that does not affect other patients' right to peace and quiet."

But what about Patientline?

My Trust has had a fairly permissive policy on mobile phones for some time now - pretty much since the MHRA advice suggested that there was no need to implement a total ban. Our policy also includes considerations of privacy, consideration for others, and the use of camera-phones. It went (successfully) through extensive consultation with patients representatives, who were happy with its balance between safety, respect for others and convenience. All well and good, then. But then we find the clause in the Patientline concession agreement that requires us to prohibit mobile phone use on most wards. So our policy is all but meaningless, and we've been forced to throw away most of the benefits to patients that we'd tried to support.

and that's a good point

Patientline could become all but redundant overnight. Not sure how it's licensed or how Trusts benefits from the expensive incoming and outgoing calls but patients won't be restricted to using that to communicate with their families.

I read this board on very rare occasions having actually held a few many, many moons ago. Today 5 identical spam e-mails got past my filter and I thought it was a little sad. It is quite possible that others got this and then went out and bought some. The message below in no way reflects my oppinion.

imho it just goes to show one born every minute....the volumes indicate retail investors - who rarely have inside information.

[wilmot] 15/3/2007 19:18

Could be shorters closing to realise their profits before shares get suspended?

[scribbler101] 15/3/2007 19:03

Purely a guess; but the publicity may have produced a few optimists willing to take a punt.

[palwing] 15/3/2007 17:47

Some news in the air? Quite a rise in the share price today or is this a "suckers" rallY?

[mikey_b] 15/3/2007 13:39

beats me richard. probably because someone told them to. astonishing really.

[richardbees] 15/3/2007 12:36

The lifting of the hospital mobile phone ban was just on Radio 4 'you and yours' - I too got that boiler room spam 'buy PTL' this morning.

Why on earth are people still buying this dog?

[momentos] 15/3/2007 11:56

MMs unmoved by all the activity within their spreads.

[nmf777] 15/3/2007 11:49

your top place for BR info is boiler-rooms.co.uk. recommended reading for the gullible, which has included myself in the past

[arab3] 15/3/2007 10:01

any of you had calls from "brokers" to buy into Sensitron.
Software company dealing with patient records etc using patientline equipment to accesss all info at bedside. I have had calls from different sources in the past few months with the same info buy today at 32p hopefully float in the summer, the boy yesterday tried hard but "no deal".

[philmiboots] 15/3/2007 10:01

Should be renamed - "Flatline"....

[brixlaven] 15/3/2007 09:54

JDA.I agree but why do people open such emails.

[jda] 15/3/2007 09:50

Yes- definately a scam pump and dump going on.
Think the stock should be suspended whilst a stock exchange investigation takes place!!!!

[momentos] 15/3/2007 09:34

Buy at 2.5p today to sell at 1.5p tomorrow..... Thats the true spread, 40% now. The bid at 2p will evaporate soon enough.

[momentos] 15/3/2007 09:13

lol, wasnt from Shore Capital (20%), Morgan Stanley (13%) or Barclays (5%) was it ?! [see Holdings above and history er SCAP 20%]

The only great benefits tomorrow are a bit of loss to write off against profits made elsewhere....

[superhuman] 15/3/2007 08:52

scribbler-

Yes, many people are being killed by MRSA and guess what - the NHS is paying out week after week but with no publicity. There are relatives in our family who were paid out quietly in a Midlands hospital group - no fuss. You draw the money then keep quiet that's one of the conditions.

In our northern (new) hospital people walk in looking less clean than I would want in my home. The hand cleaning stuff is ignored by 75% of the visitors and they walk straight past it - they don't have to go to find it.

Getting rid of PTL will not knock back MRSA to any significant degree.
Giving the unmotivated cleaners a kick up the derriere would.
