How do people sleep at night knowing they are actively hurting people?
We actually need to take it further and prosecute corporate manslaughter properly. It’s finally being done in the Lucy Letby case, but often these people just jump ship at any sign of trouble and start afresh.
Problem is that the NHS already attracts low hanging fruit, this could just make the quality of applicant even lesser.
>Currently, there is no regulatory framework for the tens of thousands of clinical and non-clinical NHS managers, as there is for doctors and nurses.
An unfair disparity, but sadly not surprising. Great news that this is being addressed.
There’s an instinctive drive against whistleblowers which no amount of legislation can ever overcome. Whistleblowing is as violation of loyalty, however altruistic the motive. And that makes a prospective employer or the prospective partner think — will this person be loyal to me? Loyalty is a basic moral drive.
But if the whistleblowers are silenced how will we know they’ve been silenced to ban the bosses?
No worries for such folk can always find more lucrative employment elsewhere for this tier falls upwards
I’m assuming that the nhs bosses who signed this off feel very secure that the public won’t care about the suicide cover up theyre currently doing.
I will defend the NHS in principle at all costs, but holy shit is there a toxic culture that is destroying morale right now. It is death by a thousand cuts, refusing to hire competent staff/firing useless staff, a bullying culture in many departments, refusing to listen to staff complaints about safety and wellbeing.
I work in an understaffed lab where we are all tired from working overtime to keep the service running. We are 24/7 and can never close, we are running on fumes right now. What are we doing about that? Increasing our workload through a pathology merge! It is only a matter of time before we shatter because those who run the hospital do not even know that pathology exists as a service; I doubt they know where the labs even are. Good luck being heard if you raise a complaint with management because you are just told “No, everything is fine.” There is little accountability from some in management, while those of us on the ground take the blame for any and every mistake.
