webfact Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 ROBOT WARDS Evil-eyed robot nurses do the rounds in Thai hospital as NHS bosses say droids could save Britain £12billion a year They robots perform simple tasks such as delivering paperwork and medicine to doctors By Gerard du Cann A robot wearing a nurse costume carries medical documents at Mongkutwattana General Hospital in Bangkok//REUTERS EVIL-EYED robot nurses are roaming the wards of a Thai hospital as NHS bosses say droids could save Britain £12billion a year. The Mongkutwattana General Hospital in Bangkok was struggling with a deluge of new patients at the end of last year and couldn’t hire enough staff to deal with them. Instead, they bought three robot nurses and kitted them out in the health facility's sunshine yellow uniform. The new-age solution comes after a top doctor said robot carers could save the NHS £12billion a year. Former health minister Lord Darzi, a leading surgeon, said nearly a third of care staff tasks could be handed over to robots. The Thailand machines seem to add credibility to his argument. They only perform simple tasks such as delivering paperwork and medicine to doctors.

The SUN Going on the reputation of The Sun 'newspaper', I'm surprised they didn't list the robot nurses vital statistics and include a topless photo of them. 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My hospital uses technology invented about 1850 for the same task. It's a pneumatic tube system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcorrigan Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 And naturally being the NHS it will need a raft of high paid managers to oversee the robots, same as in all other areas of the NHS! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavideol Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 that's some good savings but not as much as Johnson anticipated, wasn't he saying when campaigning for Brexit, by exiting the EU the NHS would be saving 365 Million a day x 365 or 366 days = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
