NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

Telegraph 24.2.13. Motivated by reports of patients deaths, Govt now agree to  test the English of Doctors from overseas. Who do they blame?? The EU regulations--- were misunderstood. Commonsense tells you to legally check them. It is all too easy relying on people and things from abroad-- then the Government  is no longer responsible. Yet reports indicate, qualifications in English--- or indeed, from Universities, may be falsified and corrupt universities do exist within some countries. I await a Government reply on this and other issues. Nurses too are implicated. There have been several published reported "near misses" of patients when misunderstood by nurses from overseas. Indeed the training of overseas nurses when they arrive here, is at present under question---. An unfair position for overseas staff to be in not to mention anything else.
