NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

A major finding from research "the commodity of care" which suprised myself, was that the government CONSIDER, as supported by emails, that agencies independent of themselves and the private sector, are not "their responsibility". Legally and morally, we know this would would be questionable according to the Human Rights Act as  a British citizen. indeed - it has arisen in courts of law. Hence regulations differ, complaints procedures are bizzare, government led /influenced campaigns do ...

Worked one day in a nursing home. Care assistants pleaded with me to take action regarding the condition of a resident's legs. They had been like it for 6 weeks and no doctor had been rung by the nurses, who happened to be from overseas. I rang the doctor who came and she also expresed alarm that she had not been contacted, Of course I made full records.This tale tells us a few facts. Care assistants do report to nurses (not always we know) . When no action is taken, the care assistants are...

Campaigns still rise for the NHS. Remember, care exists also in the private and charity sector, to which politicians march. Privatise and forget about it - "we are not responsible" they say. Poor care in the NHS- an excuse to privatise we wonder?

Many forget also that the  4 regions of the UK have different regulatory bodies, regulations and procedures etc. Carol Dimon has analysed this on qualityofnursingcare.webs.com. Nobody else to our knowledge? All speak of UK care as though t...

Great- establish yourself as  a much needed registered charity, and gain Government grants, and then get gagged ie not allowed to campaiign against certain issues. Sounds rather like Mafia management . Suppose anybody not registered, will be elbowed out by those who are.

Abuse of the vulnerable. Care is  a commodity-a business.

By Lenin Nightingale

Still I hear of relatives paying top up fees for people to be cared for in some care homes. This is when the fee is above the local authority given rate. According to reports, this practice is in some cases, illegal.(Morrison J 2013 The Guardian) with councils setting the rate even lower . Yet relatives and individuals, seeking such care , are in no position to fully explore this at the time.

Consider also- people already in care homes, who are then asked for  a top up, or to ...

England- you have untill feb 2014 to comment on the Care Bill. Important issues regarding human rights, payment for longterm care., safeguarding. . The proposed cap of £72000 for care home care, is misleading and unfair.

Shock as Incestuous Clan Discovered in Australia

At first I felt horrified on reading this- like some others perhaps. Then I realised there is   a connection to perceptions underlying care- and multiple other issues. One huge factor in CARE is what is acceptable and what is not- this reflects morals of society and individuals. This is related to culture amongst other factors. Also the link to history is of relev...

This book is still being sold by various outlets, it appears. I wish to repeat- it is now out of date as new regulations are in force eg Deprivation of Liberty. However, the fundamental issue remains in the UK and overseas. I am unaware who now publishes or sells the book and receive no payment for it. It was one perspective regarding " poor care" ie unintentional in some cases.
