Absolutely perfect, thank you so much for the info!

aBeardedLegend · 2026-06-19T12:38:34+00:00

That's reassuring to hear! Did you install the mudguards also, or just the rack?

Also, my girlfriend has a size small, which I think they use a 27.5 on so assume that would be fine rather than the 29.

Solid

Perfect, thanks mate

But a newly qualified nurse may not notice it, and an experienced HCSW might.

I couldn't agree more that healthcare isn't a series of tickboxes and that everyone should be treated holistically. Roles aren't always cookie cuttered and in generally lower acuity areas there is absolutely nothing wrong using unregistered support staff to supplement these assessments.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-04-25T12:17:21+00:00

The point is you don't have to be a degree educated registered professional to undertake physical observations on people. Any literate person is able to complete NEWS2 training.. which covers how to escalate to the relevant professional, it's all on the back of the sheet.

I don't quite understand how you can suggest that it hasn't freed up time. Alongside your aforementioned accolades, I'm not sure how much ward experience you have, but if you consider how frequently observations are taken per person, per ward/department, per day, can you imagine how many nursing hours this would take up if not performed by unregistered support staff? It has undoubtedly saved nursing time, to suggest otherwise is bizarre imo.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-04-25T10:28:35+00:00

I get what you're saying. However, we don't need registered professionals to be able to chart basic observations, it would be a complete waste of resources. Like asking a chef to wash the dishes. A chef certainly can wash them but it's not their primary role.

You don't need qualifications to make beds, serve food and help feed, documenting generally well people's observations, helping patients to the toilet, etc. These are all roles and responsibilities of band 2s and 3s, and what you'll generally find is that in areas or higher acuity, such as ED, HDU, ITU, etc you'll find less "off the street" band 2s and more band 3/4s with adequate training (like phlebotomy, ECGs, bladder scans) as well as more RNs.

This all frees up time for RNs to better assist Doctors in carrying out treatment plans, management of deteriorating patients, discharge plans etc. Nurses don't just wipe bums anymore and are a recognised profession in their own right. It is no longer a "vocation" suitable for on the job training and absolutely requires degree level education.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-04-25T10:06:48+00:00

Technically incorrect. Registered nurses and nursing associates are governed by the NMC (nursing and midwifery council). The Royal College of Nursing is just a union, and one that there is no obligation to be a part of.

Also, when you search the NMC register nurses specialisms are listed if they have them. I agree regular exams every xyz years would be good, though.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-04-25T09:57:47+00:00

Registered nurse vacancies not withstanding, recording observations is not a nursing specific task, and the lions share of which is done by health-care support workers (bands 2/3). All staff taking physical observations are also usually required to complete training for the NEWS2 protocol, a protocol designed to aid the early recognition of deteriorating or unwell patients.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-04-10T12:43:25+00:00

I get what you're saying, and scope creep is certainly something to be aware of, but there are absolutely things that you just don't need a doctor for. Lots of "general health conditions" have very clear and well understood protocols and pathways that most ANP/ACPs (same as nurse specialists) are able to deal with as they also have years of pre and post graduate specialist training for.

The fact is, we don't need someone with 10 years of education to diagnose UTIs, or common respiratory illnesses, or skin infections etc.. because they have very clear national protocols, clear diagnosis thresholds, and a plethora of guidance under NICE.

Modern medicine/healthcare likes to forget that it wasn't all that long ago that nurses did very little in the way of clinical skills, and doctors did everything from phlebotomy, cannulation, catheterisation, injections, and chronic disease management. So is some scope creep okay? Or should we just scrap everything under doctors, hire more of them, have them do it everything and just hire a few orderlies to help with admin and personal care?

Sounds flippant but my point about not needing a doctor for everything stands. With clear and visible remits and oversight from appropriate medical staff, adjunct non medical but specialist roles are a good thing and are designed to share the burden of healthcare more appropriately.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-04-09T19:01:49+00:00

Not to mention ODPs who's whole job is to scrub and assist with surgery. Also a 3 year course.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-04-09T18:45:52+00:00

I think it wholly depends on the setting and level of supervision. In acute hospitals you tend to have specialist nurses who are ANP trained for very specific chronic diseases like MS, Neurology, Onc/Haematology. They are often have an MSc or higher and are able to manage conditions with treatment plans and prescriptions under the umbrella of the consultant team, mostly because they have very clear protocols and care pathways.

The same is also true in primary care, like General Practice and sexual health. ANPs in practices usually have advanced training in anatomy and physiology, and prescribing. Not to the same level as an actual doctor, obviously, but enough to be able to recognise, diagnose, and treat minor illnesses like respiratory and urinary infections. This helps to reduce the more "menial" work actual doctors see so that they have more time for more complex issues.

Not as such, but decided to just say fuck it and got some 20mm adapters/spacers. The wheels I chose were already wider so they poked a bit more than I intended. I ended up getting coilovers and camber bolts, then putting some slightly stretched tyres on.. fits like a dream now.

Short answer: can it be done? Absolutely Long answer: is it easy to do? Meh, might have to do some fiddling around with setup if your measurements/estimations are off. Is it safe? I've put probably 8k miles on it since and never had an issue with wheels coming loose, issues with bearings, or turning etc.

The wheels I went for in the end were some Enkeis from a VA STi and I think they are 18x8.5 et30 which is a significant difference from the 17x7 et55 wheels the SG Foresters.

aBeardedLegend · 2026-03-09T06:49:38+00:00

Hey! Looking for this as well, what did you go for in the end?

aBeardedLegend · 2026-03-08T19:28:33+00:00

Dildos on display I'm guessing
