NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

Huge cover-ups in Nhs (this one FT) continue www.dailymail.co.uk/.../The-damning-dossier-chaos-surgery-shames-NHS.... (ack cure the NHS for posting ref). Cover-ups from top eg Govt level ,down. What of nurses who witnessed such practices, let alone Drs involved? GMC/NMC are supposed to be there "to protect the public"; they seem to do this by shielding them from the true picture of care ie by hiding examples of poor care. There remain major bodies in nursing who still insist on publiciising only examples of "good care". Who does this really protect??

Let us remember also, medical/surgical errors have occured for years in all hospitals and all countries. A fact- not an excuse.

"One nurse kept a ‘black book’ of consultants’ blunders and was threatened: ‘Tread with caution... as whistleblowers walk.’"

Seems to be the usual, case of one word against another plus excuses. One complains and so is counter-complained against. Facts should speak for themselves. urgent need for cameras, we fear.
