What are the options available to both the decision makers. in terms of how health / sickness resources are allocated and to people with a ‘gambling’ problem?

(via)
The NHS has become a tool of the pharmaceuticals - creating a market is what modern drug research is all about. What better way to increase profits than to corner a market where no individual has to pay but The Government (i.e the taxpayer) has to keep digging deeper to support a National Sickness Service. Many people still believe that medicine (and hence the NHS) is a noble pursuit, dedicated to curing humankind’s ills. But the reality is that ‘cure’ is passé. According to expert ‘We sometimes joke that when you’re doing a clinical trial, there are two possible disasters. The first disaster is if you kill people. The second disaster is if you cure them. The truly good drugs are the ones you can use chronically for a long, long time.’

Be aware that there are about 25 courses in homeopathy but that they are all completely different and have very different standards. You should be careful to compare like with like e.g. degree course with other degree courses. (If you find you are torn between a Vocational course and an academic course then you are probably using the wrong criteria for choosing a course.

Nursing redundancies – or is there a healthier alternative to working in the NHS ?

(via)
What do Homeopaths do? Homeopathy is both a complementary and alternative medicine. Around 3,500 homeopaths practise in the UK. The profile of homeopathy is rising and so opportunities are growing. As more and more people are becoming disillusioned with modern medicine approaches there is a constantly growing demand for safer alternatives to the drug and surgery based approaches. NHS clinics can now offer homeopathy alongside traditional treatments. There are also NHS Homeopathic Hospitals in London and Edinburgh.
