On my way home last night, I saw an advert for the National Chlamydia Screening Programme on a bus shelter. It seems my concerns about the message not being spread is not really valid after all. Hope the advert is a success!

I seems that the training site has been hit with a large amount of spam accounts. I am trying to delete them as and when I spot them. You may notice the odd bit of spam on the site as a consequence. I will try and remove anything I find. Please be understanding if I accidently delete your account!

I saw this story in The Register and thought it deserved wider coverage.

Note: I had this as a page rather than a post. I have now changed this but the time of the post is a bit out!

I have recently had to do a presentation on validating a new method. I will post the presentation here soon. Note: The presentation was done using openoffice and is the odp open file format.
I will also try to contribute more than I have. My life has been busy and I will try to find 5 minutes here and there to add some minor content.

I am surprised by this report. I don’t know whether the figures are a ‘real’ disaster or part of political fighting, as the report is by the Conservative Party. I don’t know wether the figures are part of a trend or not. The figures may actually be lower than five or ten years ago, its the size the of the NHS that could make the figures look bad.
I do find it worrying about that one trust has had 1000 + incidents in two years, which is getting close to two a day.
