"NHS: The fatal lottery of childbirth in Britain" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-03 09:11:48

According to the Telegraph:"A leaked report at the weekend revealed that claims for medical negligence related to NHS childbirth stand at a staggering £4.5 billion of which £3.3 billion relates to children who developed cerebral palsy as a result of oxygen starvation at birth. What makes this even more damning is that a report by researchers at Salford University found that 70 per cent of the incidents they studied in which babies were starved of oxygen at birth were linked to staff shortages. Later this week. Professor Jason Gardosi director of the Perinatal Institute in Birmingham will present the results of a 10-year study showing that poor training among overworked doctors and midwives leads to 1,000 stillbirths a year. This is a point driven home by Prof Sabaratnam Arulkumaran incoming president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists who says the numbers of consultants and midwives at up to half of Britain's hospitals "aren't adequate" endangering the lives of expectant mothers and babies. The Royal College of Midwives has been banging the staffing drum for years. In 2005 when I was making The Truth about Childbirth a Channel 4 documentary. I was told that 2,000 extra midwives were needed merely to provide adequate cover while an extra 10,000 were required to provide the sort of proper gold-standard care that new mothers deserve. Now just under three years later the RCM says that a booming birthrate means that a further 5,000 midwives are urgently needed in the system by 2012 – again that's just to provide adequate care. But the most alarming statistic of all is that half of the current crop of trained midwives is due to retire in the next decade. Half! If we are in crisis now try to imagine the maternity meltdown by 2017. The may be putting extra resources into midwifery but huge deficits mean that there is a recruitment freeze in many health trusts and graduates cannot find posts. As a result the most alarming deficit is in experience. What price can you put on a lifetime's practice and wisdom? Contrast the above with the 's cheery assurances that all women will have a choice about where to give birth by 2009 – reinforced by new National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommendations that women should have access to a home birth if they want one." Read the full article. This is my point - the NHS might have had money put in but it has been wasted. People want safe care in childbirth or when they are ill. The NHS is not even getting these basics right. Rachel hi what's your (medical)view on home births? Thanks and good luck in HW. Hi Melaniethanks for your best wishes. My views are that patients/ mothers should be able to make a properly informed choice about their childbirth - including home birthing centre hospital site. Each mother needs to be assessed throughout pregnancy for risk and allowed to then make a decision based on this and advice from their clinicians. In the event of a problem in childbirth in a non-obstetric unit or home the midwife needs to alert as soon as possible and there should be systems in place to ensure rapid transfer and management. If you read the confidential enquiries into neonatal and maternal deaths they are usually related to poor communication between the different bits of the system - such as midwives calling for help too late or not a proper system in place for transfer etc or understaffing. The mother needs to be fully informed of local services and then make that choice. I have worked in the NHS as a doctor for 20 years. Over the last few years I have seen so many problems with the NHS public services and our increasingly broken society that I decided that I needed to get involved—to help bring about real and positive change.

Over the summer of 2005 the Committee consulted with NHS Boards to seek their views on the current Formula and identify criteria against which a revised Formula could be measured.

Further analytical and research work was undertaken following the consultation feedback and the final report has considered all of the investigate and the feedback received. The final inform includes more than 30 recommendations including a proposed revised formula to replace the Arbuthnott Formula as well as other recommendations on data developments use of formulae in funding allocations and on the future maintenance of the formula.

"Should NHS training posts be reserved for UK graduates?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 22:07:37

Professor Edward Bryne. Dean of the UCL Faculty of Biomedical Science argued that society has a moral obligation to ensure that young populate who successfully end a demanding primary medical course have the opportunity to complete their training and enter medical practice in this week’s British Medical Journal (BMJ) consider – a timely one after many young doctors failed to get NHS jobs this summer. Professor Bryne acknowledges that we live in a global world and free transfer of expertise is clearly desirable. However this needs to be balanced against the training needs of UK graduates. One possible solution he argues would be to back up a period of work in other countries towards the end of specialty or family care for training. Medical training in the UK is among the best in the world and it is appropriate that a country with the wealth and stature of the United Kingdom cover its medical workforce needs without drawing doctors from less well-advantaged countries in Europe or elsewhere he writes. If the UK can alter a relatively small be of fully trained doctors to work in other countries that would be a useful contribution to international health. But he argues a failure to give training opportunities for the great majority of UK graduates and alter them to enter learn would represent a expend of human potential and a failure of care for young doctors. Arguing against Professor Byrne was Edwin Borman. Consultant Anaesthetist at Coventry and Warwickshire NHS believe and Chairman of the BMA's International Committee who believes restricting access would alter the profession.

"Eldery Care in the NHS is a Scandal" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-04 01:52:04

"In a inform today on conditions in 23 hospitals the Healthcare Commission said only five complied with all the government's core standards for dignity in compassionate. Others were open to provide degrading treatment including making incontinent patients wear nappies and placing older women in mixed-sex bays shielded by skimpy curtains on insecure rails." - as quoted in the. Why is this? In my believe it is due to the bureaucratisation of the NHS a focus on process rather than outcome targets putting compel on staff and distorting clinical priorities. And also the fact that nursing these days is focussed more on academic attainment than on actual traditional "nursing". It seems desire gone are those days. In my believe a more traditional nursing role needs to be brought back with vocational training as used to be and go progression on the job from healthcare assistant (what used to be called auxillary nurses) to cater nurses. Also we need MORE nurses - the growth in managers is 3 times that of nurses in the NHS. We need a decent staffing ratio with student nurses helping out on the protect and someone (such as a matron) actually RESPONSIBLE for what happens on their ward - including care standards pressure sores etc and HYGEINE. do work's "modernisation" of the Health Service has been a disaster - traditional nursing is what is urgently needed not gimmicks. I agree. It was never good for nurses though they had the public's respect in the past even if they weren't valued by successive governments of both colours treating them appallingly. Now that public respect is more and more at assay it will carry on the downfall of the NHS. I have worked in the NHS as a doctor for almost 20 years. Over the last few years I undergo seen so many problems with the NHS public services and our increasingly broken society that I decided that I needed to get involved - to help bring about real and positive dress. I am now the Harrow West Parliamentary Spokesman for the Conservatives. I am married to Adam and have 2 wonderful children - Alec and Harriet. I now only work part-time for the NHS so that I can dedicate my energies to the populate of Harrow West and the issues affecting their lives.

"The NHS up close - (The shade)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-07 18:39:54

I am not a sheep. I have my own object. I have had enough of being told what and how to think?Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,I will speak out. Mr NotaSheep open himself in hospital very recently with a severe allergic reaction. Once pumped beat of antihistamines and pain killers what I really wanted to do was to sleep but rest on a NHS Acute Observation protect is not easy to come by. One patient talked to himself all night; "Ow ow. I wanna go home go domiciliate. I wanna go home" for six hours he was not a come up man but the nurses did nothing surely a side room could undergo been found for him. Then there were the nurses who chatted all night about this and that only occasionally looking in on a patient who needed treatment. I was visited not at all that night it was Mrs NotaSheep who gave me water and a few bites of an apple. To make sleep harder to come by the ward lights were left on all night in the male ward (although they were off in the next door female ward - same nurses' station). In the morning after some of the nurses had discussed go paths spoken to their various family members about the day ahead and chatted to the cleaners. Mr non-stop talk was moved to a proper ward and the lights were turned off leaving the ward in semi darkness for half an hour before the sun came flooding in. I would have thought that rest was a good care for if so I was denied it during my be. The cater were generally friendly and competent and out of the half a dozen or so nurses and two doctors I saw at least one spoke English desire a native. The instructions from the East European Doctor re tablet taking were no helped by his inability to cope with English tenses which made our conversation over when I should act tablets as opposed to when I had taken tablets slightly surreal.
