RETURN US TO REAL NURSING
Dear Sir Alan
As an ardent campaigner yourself for Great Ormond Street I can think of no one better placed to sort out the mess successive governments have made of the NHS.
As an ardent campaigner yourself for Great Ormond Street I can think of no one better placed to sort out the mess successive governments have made of the NHS.
Why is this important?
I want to be able to deliver the best possible Holistic care to my patients their family friends and carers. As a health professional it is important to me to know that my patients feel they are listened to and not just a person on a "conveyer belt" and to inspire confidence in my great profession of NURSING.
I greatly admired the work of Claire Raynor who was relentless in her campaigning for the NHS.
I have returned to nursing practice after a 20+ break from clinical practice and as a trained nurse am frustrated that I am spending a high percentage of my time on duty completing paperwork with many details being repeated many times, this is a harder but not smarter way in terms of time management and directly impacts on the quality time spent talking to my patients and actually listening to them.
The thing that most concerns me is the fear instilled in my colleagues of litigation and complaints and this appears to be the uppermost thought in their mind when they arrive on duty.
My understanding is that the NHS is now big business and needs to generate income it needs someone like yourself to get involved with a no holds barred attitude.
We seem to be dealing with complaints or fear of complaint that it is almost impossible to do the Job!
I do know that we have to embrace change but as we are ALL IN THIS TOGETHER as the current government continues to tell us we still have this problem of all agencies involved in Holistic patient care not sharing information.
Please help.
