GP surgeries have targets set each year to try reduce the 5 main killers of the population. These targets see the surgery rewarded financially for every one they see who falls into the 5 categories. So in essence what this means is appointments are taken up already just by the GP trying to fufill as many targets as possible, leaving those who need to see a DR in an emergency out on a limb. Yes i think it is up to us all to be responsible for our health, but lets be blunt, these GP Practices are running it as a buisness, care went out the window years ago. They work office hours and thats it. They too need to be open a lot longer, just like pharmacys are open until 11pm. I think as far as seeing your own GP then yes you should be able too. Any good doctor would of built a good relationship and understand a persons medical needs, which is why the trust is there. Dont knock it. But we all know what is happening here. The Goverment are running the NHS down to the ground causing all sorts of problems so they can privatise it, then those in power if you go research are CEO of private health firms. Corrupt to the core. MAke use of the walk in centre, make use of the local pharmacy. The pharmacists are excellent and extremely helpful. Loof after yourself, But do not be frightened to ask to see your GP, they need to do more permanently to stop the extreme pressure on our NHS. <a href=http://www.louisvuittonbags.nom.co/>www.louisvuittonbags.nom.co</a> You know how I feel about fighting.

the nomadic shepherds travel about 400 kms over a range of 6 to 8 months with their herds. They

are in small groups of 3-8 family members. Every few days they migrate to another location that

can feed their sheep. When in a location, they are often in a farmers land after having negotiated

a trade for feed in return to the sheep manure (night droppings). During the day they can graze
 +
part of the farm (as per negotiation) and take the sheep to other grazing areas which are often
 +
common property reserves, and to areas where there is a water body. Most shepherds have mobile

phones and horses or donkeys (and camels as we go north). They use these phones, when there is

'Practitioner Session' Janastu Poster at DEV 2013, Bangalore

Ongoing Janastu activities that are of potential interest to DEV'13

This page is an elaboration of the poster at http://janastu.org/dev2013.pdf

Alipi

Alipi - Re-narration Web.

Over 10% of India (120 million) have accessed Internet by December 2011 where 90% of these 10% are from urban areas [iamai]. Mobile penetration, however, has reached 900 million Indians in 10 years. Due to the proliferation of mobile devices in remote areas [iamai] and the smart phones becoming affordable [aakash], Internet access by rural agricultural and pastoral nomads is becoming a reality. While Internet accessibility groups have developed authoring guidelines and standards for "disabled" Internet users, they do assume that such a user is a (considerably) literate person. What would it be to provision Internet accessibility to non-literates?

We explore re-narration as a basis for ”designing Internet for inclusion.” In the renarration model, any web page or even an element of it can be /re-narrated/, to make it accessible to a target audience of users in a completely decentralized way. The notion of re-narration is completely general. It could, for example, mean translating a page automatically to another language. Or it could mean creating a more accessible version of a technical document, even if it is in the same language by an expert for a layperson. 

   See the dev2013.org program re-narrated to some Indian language contexts.

Or see http://mitan.in/bcp/raika. More examples at Alipi

Technically, Re-narration Web is effectively a social semantic web. The "alipi.us" (the non-literate us) can be seen as a third party service that is served by collecting the "narration" type semantic tweets on the Web. Such "tweets" are a result of someone re-narrating some content for a specific community context.
