Herbal Granny Knew Best

I can still remember in horror my grandmother grumbled in her overgrown garden picking these leaves in the leaves, throwing them all into a pot of boiling water and drinking it. Of course at the time I, plus a lot of the other young members of the family, thought she was quite mad and more than a little weird. What we didn’t realise at the time was that Grandmother was saner than any of us and quite the herbalist, and it seems,  quite a brilliant one at that. As much as I rack my brain I can’t remember her suffering from anything so common as the common cold in her entire long life time. Of course, some might say it had nothing to do with her unusual er…habits, she was just one of those lucky few who experience a better health for most of their charmed lives. Of course, I …

Are You Still Writing for GP Reports to Manage Absence? - 5 Reasons To Think Again

As an experienced Occupational Health Nurse, I have always wondered why it is that some HR professionals and managers write to GPs rather than ask an Occupational Health specialist for a report to help them to manage absence. Occupational Health is the speciality of medicine which has the knowledge skills and training to provide advice on fitness for work in any industry setting and also has specialist knowledge of the diseases of occupations

Asking a GP, who has never had any occupational health training or even visited a workplace, for an opinion on fitness to work, rarely provides any useful advice on capability. It generally lengthens the management of the absence as GPs are very busy and can take weeks before a response is received and the report can be expensive.

Maybe it’s time to review your approach?

1. In my experience, non-medical people writing for a GP report are …

Whether you’re sitting in the office or strolling the mall, vending machines can beckon temptingly. The problem is that they tend to be filled with unhealthy sugary or fried snacks that can foil your resolution to maintain a healthy weight. But if you must succumb to the temptation, read on first to find out which vending snacks are the better choices.

If it’s your sweet tooth that’s giving you a hard time, opt for snacks like granola bars and animal crackers. When it comes to candy, pick those that have raisins or nuts in them, like many trail mixes do.

If the munchies have you craving something salty, however, avoid fried snacks like potato chips. Instead try unsalted or lightly salted nuts.

Pretzels and baked chips are also good options. Although baked chips do not necessarily have fewer calories than fried chips, the chances are they contain less …
