I will do my best to help but, to date. I have hardly tested the system as I have only needed friendly advice and often put myself 'on the back burner.' I work with the Catherine Goodchild at present. We relate well and currently I am back on open access. I have been given excellent reports of St. Luke's end of life care by friends who have used your wonderful services. Yet, I have a peculiar relationship with Plymouth. Due to divorce in early 80's and giving up my teaching post in Kingsbridge as there was my infant (8 months) son to look after. I could only find temporary work in Plymouth (secondary). Strangely, I never had any difficulty with the clientele (pupils) . Many problems were management, lip service and no real support but I had worked in the rough mining areas of the North - East and had the skills to survive. I never come to Plymouth, except for medicals, I did this journey daily for 25 years. I needed some contact with St. Lukes to give me confidence but I am always medically oriented towards Plymouth. This is not your fault. In my aversion and my recoil at the horrendous times past.
