📢Delighted to see the results of the Tempo trial published today👇
Bowel screening uptake boosted with simple change to invitation letter.

From BBC News Scotland today about the Accident and Emergency Department at Inverclyde Hospital in Glasgow (where my daughter works). "The A/E department has routinely been operating at 400% capacity". I was going to say "unbelievable" but sadly it is not.
