A NICE interview

I got interviewed today. Now I'm exhausted. I will tell you all about it if I get appointed.
It was a telephone interview, which is a bit weird. There was the Chief Executive of NICE, some government guy and the deputy chair. The deputy chair is a GP also so that made me feel better. It was a grilling alright but I honestly think I did OK. I wouldn't have given any different answers if I'd have known the questions before hand. I even made them laugh at the end when they asked me what I would say to the press when I became famous. I said 'I'm already famous'. Ouch, may be I wouldn't have said that bit. Still it's pretty good to be shortlisted for a job like that.
Last week I gave my talk to Sheffield doctors, and this weekend I'm going to Palma to tell them about the Averroes trial, of a new drug.
The 'making it real' workshop last week also was a great success, as widely acknowledge. I think I managed to get the GPs to see the potential of working cooperatively in this new NHS adventure. Definitely those in our area are already pulling together. I'm running a workshop with them on 'understanding referrals' next week.
So all go then, well it's better than sitting in my front room on the computer and watching back episodes of Taggart. Its murrder.
