  • Comment on: Nurses 'threatened' over strike plans

    Roger Hodgson's comment 8-Oct-2011 9:25 pm

    The profession is being told to consider those at risk before any action is taken which may compromise their safety and well being. Such advice is truly comendable and is, I'm sure offered with the patient's welfare in mind... However, the present economic climate has been brought about by incompetence and fraud by politicians, mismanagement, accountants and bankers both in the UK and internationally. It is those here in the UK who amateurism and abuse of their positions of trust that should bear the responsibility for redressing the damage caused to the economy. Their despicable actions have threatened the safety not only of the vulnerable in our society but society itself! But it's always easier to kick and threaten the plebs when things turn sour....

  • Comment on: 'Quality assurance is not a tick box'

    Roger Hodgson's comment 26-Sep-2011 8:48 am

    Quality Assurance??? More like League Table information gathering. Put more hands on staff in the work place, (the real workplace, on the wards not human resources and unqualified management sitting behind computers) and patient satisfaction along with quality of care and assurance will automatically follow. There is no real need to write books on the subject of quality assurance and how to attain it... Given a practice based leadership and the opportunity and time to use appropriate interpersonal skills, Nurses will reverse the present conveyeror belt system of care to one where quality need not be measured by tick boxes

  • Comment on: 'Do nurse badges have any relevance to nurses today?'

    Roger Hodgson's comment 27-Aug-2011 11:31 am

    Yes of course there is a need to maintain the Nursing School badge. It represents a sense of individual achievement, of skills learned, shared experiences, friends made and of doing a worthwhile job.

  • Comment on: Shake-up for blood pressure diagnosis backed by NICE

    Roger Hodgson's comment 24-Aug-2011 11:12 pm

    A step in the right direction for once, but why only now has this suddenly been suggested when Diabetic patients have been self monitoring for years? ETA, Why do these machines have to cost £1,000 or more? Nothing to do with possible profiteering surely....

  • Comment on: Rioting youths attack ambulance crews

    We must be wary of what we say here, even rabid scum such as these have human rights that need to be respected..... according to what we agreed to when joining the EU
