NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

Needless deaths in 14 NHS trusts. Politicians said to have been in denial at least since 2001( Professor Jarman). poor care extends way before-- all in denial , including individuals and major agencies. Lets only talk about good care they said and some still say. It is not always due to low staffing- but it is  a major factor. Nurses and Doctors need to be in charge. If we must have  a financial manger, have  a clinical manger alongside.

Not only NHS- are reports re private hospitals and care homes in the press. Do not use this as an excuse to privatise and then forget about the care. The private sector is more secretive due to competition and does have different standards.

When we consider problems, we ought not discard history and international situations, Whilst history may be considered to address different eras, recognise the underlying theme. This links to compassion and politics; in the UK beginning with workhouses and the work ethic. Internationally, similar situations occur- politically and due to attitudes. My concern is many refuse to accept that problems have always been there- whatever the country, whoever owns the establishment. They are too busy blaming one another. Problems HAVE always been there and will always occur because of the nature of the role. Fail to acept this--- and it will never change.
