- 5:53section 2.
- 5:55you are going to hear a conversation
- 5:57between two women about the health
- 5:59system in England
- 6:01first you have some time to look at
- 6:03questions 11 to 17.
- 6:36now listen to the first part of the
- 6:38conversation and answer questions 11 to
- 6:4117.
- 6:45hello Mrs Sutton come in how are you
- 6:48settling in next door have all your
- 6:50things from Canada arrived yet I thought
- 6:53I saw a removals fan outside your house
- 6:55yesterday afternoon yes they came
- 6:58yesterday we spent all day yesterday
- 7:01arranging them it's beginning to feel a
- 7:04bit more like home now oh that's good
- 7:06look come in and sit down are you all
- 7:09right
- 7:10you look a bit worried well I am a bit
- 7:13I'm sorry to bother you so early Mrs
- 7:16Smith but I wonder if you could help me
- 7:18could you tell me how I can get hold of
- 7:21a doctor our daughter Anna isn't very
- 7:24well this morning and I may have to call
- 7:27somebody out she keeps being sick and I
- 7:31am beginning to get a bit worried I just
- 7:33don't know how the health system works
- 7:35here in England all I know is that it's
- 7:38very different from ours back in Canada
- 7:40well I don't know really where to start
- 7:44let me think
- 7:46well the first thing you have to do is
- 7:49find a family doctor
- 7:51sometimes we call them General
- 7:53Practitioners as well right and register
- 7:56with him or her if you live here you've
- 8:00got to be on a doctor's list
- 8:02if you're not things can be a bit
- 8:04difficult nobody will come out to you if
- 8:07you're not registered anyway the work in
- 8:10things called practices sort of small
- 8:13groups of family doctors all working
- 8:15together in the same buildings now what
- 8:18you've got to do this morning is
- 8:20register with one of them there are two
- 8:23practices near here so we're quite well
- 8:25off the doctors in this part of
- 8:27Manchester there's the dean End Health
- 8:29Center about 10 minutes walk away and
- 8:34there's another practice in South Hay
- 8:36that's about five minutes away going
- 8:39towards the Town Center we're registered
- 8:42at the dean end one but they're both
- 8:46okay
- 8:47there are about six doctors in our
- 8:49practice and four in the other so ours
- 8:52is quite big in comparison and the
- 8:55building and everything's a bit more
- 8:57modern South a is a bit old-fashioned
- 9:00but the doctors are okay their only
- 9:03problem is that they don't have a proper
- 9:05appointment system sometimes you have to
- 9:08wait for ages there to see someone
- 9:10anyway you go to the receptionist in
- 9:13whichever Health Center and ask her to
- 9:16register you with a doctor there you
- 9:18have to fill in a form but it doesn't
- 9:20take long ours is called Dr Jones and
- 9:24we've been going to him for years ever
- 9:27since we moved here 15 years ago I
- 9:31wouldn't say he's brilliant but um I
- 9:34suppose he's all right really
- 9:36where you swim now they say he's very
- 9:38good with elderly people but he does
- 9:40tend to get a bit impatient with
- 9:42children
- 9:43listen the one who's supposed to be
- 9:46really good with small children is Dr
- 9:48Shaw I've Heard lots of people say that
- 9:51she's young and she's got small children
- 9:53of her own so you could try registering
- 9:56with her
- 9:58and if her lists fall I heard somebody
- 10:00say the other day that there's a really
- 10:02nice young doctor at South Hay a Dr
- 10:05Williams
- 10:07he holds special clinics for people with
- 10:09back trouble but that's not really your
- 10:12problem is it
- 10:16now you have some time to look at
- 10:18questions 18 to 20.
- 10:36now listen to the rest of the
- 10:37conversation and answer questions 18 to
- 10:4120.
- 10:44if you want a doctor to visit you at
- 10:46home you have to ask for a home visit
- 10:48you're supposed to do that before 10 30
- 10:51in the morning but obviously if it's an
- 10:54emergency you can phone at any time
- 10:56night or day it might not be your doctor
- 11:00that comes though it's quite often one
- 11:02of the other doctors in the practice it
- 11:04doesn't really seem to make much
- 11:05difference otherwise you make an
- 11:08appointment to see your doctor at the
- 11:09health center you usually get seen the
- 11:12same day not always of course but
- 11:15usually as I say the whole surgery is
- 11:18between 9 and 11 30 every weekday and
- 11:21from 4 to 6 30 Monday to Thursday
- 11:25Saturdays are only for emergencies when
- 11:28the doctor sees you it gives you a
- 11:30prescription it writes what medication
- 11:32you need on it and you take it to a
- 11:34chemist shop
- 11:35there's one opposite the center if it's
- 11:39for a child under 16 you don't have to
- 11:41pay so if it's for Anna there's no
- 11:43problem
- 11:44the same thing goes if you're unemployed
- 11:47or retired or if you're pregnant just as
- 11:50well because it's not cheap you pay the
- 11:53same price for each item the doctor has
- 11:55prescribed at the moment it's something
- 11:57like five pound per item so you pay for
- 12:00the medication but the consultation with
- 12:02the doctor doesn't cost you anything
- 12:04it's completely free as long as you're a
- 12:07resident here we are going to be here
- 12:09for three years aren't you uh-huh so
- 12:12well it shouldn't be any question of you
- 12:14paying anything to see the doctor so
- 12:16that's one less problem to worry about
- 12:19look Mrs Sutton if you want I'll sit
- 12:22with your daughter for half an hour if
- 12:24you want to go down to the Health Center
- 12:25to register it's no trouble really don't
- 12:28worry are you sure you wouldn't mind
- 12:30that would really help me a lot I'll ask
- 12:33them if they can send someone around
- 12:34later to see Anna I I think I'll try the
- 12:37dean end Center good idea don't worry
- 12:40about Anna right I'll be back as soon as
- 12:43I can
- 12:49that is the end of section two
- 12:51you will now have half a minute to check
- 12:54your answers
- 13:24now turn to section three

- 13:44questions 21 to 27.
- 14:17now listen carefully to the first part

- 14:42form your experience to date Etc and
- 14:46then in the second part you go for a
- 14:48group interview group interview yes I

- 14:55yes but I also did Politics as a major
- 14:59Strand
- 15:00and you graduated in 1989.
- 15:04and I see you've been doing some
- 15:06teaching yes I worked as a volunteer
- 15:09teacher in West Africa I was there for
- 15:12almost three years in total from 1990 to
- 15:161992. how interesting what organization
- 15:20was that with it's not one of the major
- 15:22ones it's called Teach South all right
- 15:26yes I have heard of it it operates in
- 15:29several African countries doesn't it
- 15:31and what kind of school was it a rural
- 15:34Cooperative oh a rural Cooperative how
- 15:38interesting
- 15:39and what did you teach a variety of
- 15:41things in different years
- 15:44um I did with forms one to three mainly
- 15:48geography and some english with form

- 16:09before the interview continues you have
- 16:11some time to look at questions 28 to 30.
- 16:44now listen to the rest of the interview
- 16:46and answer questions 28 to 30.
- 16:53and how did you find the whole
- 16:55experience
- 16:56I'll be honest with you at the end of
- 16:59the first year I really wanted to leave
- 17:01and come home oh why was that well I was
- 17:05very homesick at first and missed my
- 17:07family oh yes I can understand that and
- 17:10I also found it frustrating to have so
- 17:12few teaching resources but I did decide
- 17:15to stay and in the end I extended my
- 17:18tour to a third year right things must
- 17:21have looked up then yes we set up a very
- 17:24successful project breeding cattle to
- 17:26sell locally really
- 17:28and then after a lot of hard work we
- 17:31finally got funds for new farm buildings
- 17:33and you wanted to see things through and
- 17:36that's why you want to train to teach
- 17:37geography yes
- 17:39I've had a couple of jobs since then but
- 17:42I now realize I like teaching best
- 17:45and I chose geography because
- 17:48because it's my favorite subject
- 17:51and also because I think it has so many
- 17:53useful applications Well you certainly
- 17:56have had some interesting work
- 17:58experience
- 17:59I'll ask you now to go on to the next
- 18:01stage of the interview
- 18:07that is the end of section three
- 18:10you will now have half a minute to check
- 18:12your answers
- 18:43now turn to section four
- 18:50section 4.
- 18:52you're going to hear a radio talk on
- 18:55back pain given by Dr Paula clayberg of
- 18:58Liverpool's Wilton Clinic
- 19:00first you have some time to look at
- 19:03questions 31 to 40.
- 19:55now listen carefully to the talk and
- 19:58answer questions 31 to 40.
- 20:03today's Health council is presented by
- 20:06Paula claiberg who is the chief
- 20:09counselor at Liverpool's famous pain
- 20:11clinic the Wilton Clinic Paula
- 20:15do you know what Prince Charles seby
- 20:18Ballesteros and Elizabeth Taylor have in
- 20:21common
- 20:23they all suffer from chronic back pain
- 20:26in fact bad backs are one of the most
- 20:29common health problems today
- 20:31affecting people in all walks of life
- 20:35the most recent available figures show
- 20:38that about a quarter of a million people
- 20:40are incapacitated with back pain every
- 20:43day
- 20:44and many sufferers don't know the cause
- 20:47or the solution to their problem
- 20:51the majority of our patients at the
- 20:53clinic tend to be women
- 20:56they are especially vulnerable because
- 20:59of pregnancy but also because of
- 21:02osteoporosis which I personally believe
- 21:05to be the major cause of problems for
- 21:07women
- 21:09I have many women patients who say they
- 21:12have completely given up exercise
- 21:13because the pain makes them so miserable
- 21:17but of course that starts up a vicious
- 21:19circle
- 21:21bed rest giving up exercise and
- 21:24painkillers are traditional responses to
- 21:27back pain
- 21:28but although there are many excellent
- 21:30drugs on the market at our Clinic we're
- 21:33beginning to realize the unique benefits
- 21:35of relaxation therapy
- 21:38other specialists in the field make a
- 21:41strong case for certain types of
- 21:43exercise but in our experience they are
- 21:46easily mishandled and can lead to more
- 21:49harm than good
- 21:51now let's look at some of the reasons
- 21:54why back pain is developing into such a
- 21:56unique Menace
- 21:58in general the body is pretty good at
- 22:00self-repair
- 22:02a strain or a blow to a limb though
- 22:04painful at the time generally resolves
- 22:07itself
- 22:09but the body's response to back injury
- 22:11can be very counterproductive
- 22:14when pain strikes we attempt to keep the
- 22:17back as immobile as possible which makes
- 22:19the muscles tense up
- 22:21research shows that they often go into
- 22:23spasm which causes further twisting of
- 22:26the spine
- 22:27a vicious circle is underway
- 22:31the second mistake we often make when
- 22:33stricken with extreme back pain is to go
- 22:36to bed and stay there
- 22:38although at the clinic we recognize that
- 22:40a short rest in bed can be helpful up to
- 22:43two days
- 22:45any longer makes our back muscles become
- 22:48weaker and unable to hold up our spine
- 22:51the pain therefore becomes worse
- 22:55another problem is being overweight
- 22:58anyone as stone or more overweight who
- 23:01already has back pain is not doing
- 23:04himself any favors
- 23:06though it won't actually set it off in
- 23:08the first place the weight will increase
- 23:10the strain and make things worse
- 23:14the British diet could be partially to
- 23:16blame for the increase in back pain
- 23:18over the last 10 years the average
- 23:21weight of men has risen by 11 pounds and
- 23:24of women by nine pounds
- 23:28so much for the causes and aggravations
- 23:30of pain
- 23:32but what can we do to help
- 23:37there are many ways in which simple
- 23:39day-to-day care can make all the
- 23:41difference
- 23:42the first point to watch of course is
- 23:44weight
- 23:45if you are overweight a diet will make
- 23:48all the difference
- 23:50also Studies have shown that just one
- 23:53hour sitting in a slouched position
- 23:55constrained ligaments in the back which
- 23:57can take months to heal
- 24:00at the clinic we have come to the
- 24:02conclusion that the major cause of the
- 24:05problem is not with the design of chairs
- 24:07as some have suggested but in a way we
- 24:10sit in them
- 24:12it can be useful to get special
- 24:14Orthopedic chairs but remember the most
- 24:17important Improvement should be in our
- 24:19posture
- 24:21another enemy of your back is of course
- 24:24your beds
- 24:25if your bed doesn't give enough support
- 24:27back muscles and ligaments work all
- 24:30night trying to correct spinal alignment
- 24:32so you wake up with a tired aching back
- 24:36try out an orthopedic mattress or a
- 24:39spring slatted bed
- 24:41research shows that both can be
- 24:43beneficial for certain types of back
- 24:45pain
- 24:47another Hazard for your back are the
- 24:49shock waves which travel up your spine
- 24:51when you walk known as heel strike
- 24:55a real find for our patients has been
- 24:58the shock absorbing shoe insert a cheap
- 25:01but very effective solution
- 25:04and you might be better off avoiding
- 25:06shoes with heels higher than one and a
- 25:08half inches
- 25:09though absolutely flat shoes can be a
- 25:12solution for some others find their
- 25:15posture suffers
- 25:17finally a word about the
- 25:19state-of-the-art relief the TENS machine
- 25:23a small battery-powered Gadget which
- 25:26delivers subliminal electrical pulses to
- 25:28the skin
- 25:30our experience indicates that your money
- 25:32is better spent on the more
- 25:34old-fashioned remedies
- 25:36that is the end of section four
- 25:39you will now have half an
