Mr. Agrawal's Case: Cruel Or Charcoal?

TSgt Aponte provided a memorandum for record dated 19 August 2016, stating that a RRT RN reported that Mr Jennings was very rude and disrespectful. The RRT RN also reported that Mr Jennings threw his equipment on the patient’s bed and said, “Why am I running around gathering supplies if you already have them?” This statement was yelled out in front of the patient. Mr Jennings was counselled for the second time that if this behavior continues he would be recommended for disciplinary actions which may result from a reprimand up to a removal.

The Alder Hey organs scandal involved the unauthorised removal and disposal of children’s organs (1988 - 1995). More than 2000 pots with organs were uncovered in the Alder Hey children’s hospital in Liverpool after the death of a girl in Bristol hospital, where the surgeon had falsified the post-mortem report and retained the girl’s heart. In 1998 the General Medical Council (GMC) charged two Bristol surgeons and their medical director with misconduct on the grounds that they had failed to recognise and act upon their poor outcome results. The Secretary of State for health then ordered an enquiry, which was conducted by a Queen's Counsel (senior trial lawyer), Michael Redfern. Redfern's report contains many important messages about job descriptions,

A review by the department health following the winterbourne hospital scandal highlighted significant levels of abuse and poor care. A range of agencies failed to provide quality care from the operating company to commissioners and health regulators.(Department of Health,2012) Patients were reported to be slapped punched and restrained unlawfully for long periods. An emphasis on how poor quality care was delivered by the hospital included several patients suffering from dental problems(poor mouthcare), constipation and the giving of both antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs without a proper prescribing policy in place( HM Government,2012).Both the police and the emergency department encountered a significant number of patients from the winterbourne Hospital

not quite right occurring within the trust. The NHS care regulator soon became aware of the fact that Stafford seemed to

Can we really trust the NHS after the recent junior doctor strike? Dr Ethan Copeland explains.

Since the Mid Staffordshire trust was investigated by Robert Francis in 2009 regarding the lack of care given to the patients; there has been many changes implemented within the NHS to improve the care and safety of the patients. Some of the recent changes include the whistleblowing policy, implementation of the 6 c’s and the CQC. These were all put into place to try and stop any further problems similar to the Staffordshire scandal in the future. All nurses and midwives must be registered to Professional body in order to practice which could be the NMC. Another way to ensure the safety and best care for the patients is to

Concerns at Winterbourne View Hospital first came to light after a charge nurse raised the issues with the hospital in October 2010 and his allegations were passed on to the local authority, South Gloucestershire council, in its capacity as lead safeguarding agency and then relayed to the CQC in December 2010 but nothing was done.

"Our absolute priority is patient safety and making sure that the NHS delivers high-quality care 7 days a week and we know that's what doctors want too, so it is extremely disappointing that the BMA have chosen to take industrial action which helps no-one. We had made good progress in talks, resolving 15 of the 16 issues put forward by the union everything apart from weekend pay. We have now asked ACAS to reconvene talks in the hope the BMA will return to sensible

Over the last 15 years or so a number of cases concerning patient care and safety have come to light prompting investigations and inquiries that have led to changes in the way care is delivered. These include inquiries at Winterbourne View hospital, Mid-Staffordshire hospital(Mid staffs) and Harold shipman to name a few.

The Nurse Diana Smith, despite her findings, is responsible for standard 11; she failed in acting too late. Although there were several professionals involved, the hospital is also responsible for the use and maintenance of equipment. Also, responsible for the short staffing that added to patients risks and nurses’ burnout and potential licensing

Therefore, in the event that health experts don 't have a clue about the significance of advancing hostile to unfair practice, they will probably oppress the administration clients and other staff at work. Healthcare suppliers ought to be aware of the dynamic advancement of hostile to biased practice so that the administration clients can get quality care at their own advantage. On the off chance that care suppliers don 't go along to work in a hostile to oppressive practice, administration clients will be not treated decently and their decisions would not be regarded or contemplated. On the off chance that the care associations don 't consent to advance a hostile to biased practice, administration clients will be ignored and disempowered and this can make the administration clients to feel useless as a person.

Independent expert details hundreds of incidents of restraint and dozens of assaults on patients by staff at private hospital

As known from recent issues in the media, lack of communication can prove fatal for example the case regarding Kane Gorny, 22, a keen sportsman who was so desperate for water he phoned police. “Kane was undoubtedly let down by incompetence of staff, poor communication, lack of leadership, both medical and nursing, and a culture of assumption” (Dr Shirley Radcliffe). If the nurses had communicated and listened to Mr Gorny they would have been able to prevent neglect thus preventing his death. Mr Gorny was not only failed by medical staff but also by police forces as we are made aware that he had phoned but as there was no assault found they left but if the police that were present had questioned medical staff once again Mr Gorny’s death would have been prevented. (The Guardian, 2012) Thus proving that without communication mortal incidents can happen because communication also involves listening, understanding and responding, which was not evident in this situation as Mr Gorny was not listened to and did not get a response to his plea. (Pease, 2000).

Imagine you were working at a hospital in the radiology department where the hospital is understaffed and a reducing budget. Which sometimes the department gets chaotic. Upon reviewing previous examinations, you discover an error that involves two patients. After identifying the problem, resulting in a patient who was to receive a chest procedure, but instead, the technologist performed an abdominal procedure that was ordered for a different patient. When this error was discovered it was clear that both patients were not in any harm during this case. The real harm, in this case, is the technologist who made the error and the department head who authorized the management shift.

Assignment: Critically analyse an incident experienced whilst in practice, allowing opportunity to explore professional responsibilities, concepts of care management and the impact of health policy/legislation on care provision. You should demonstrate fitness of practice (NMC, 2008).
