We all (or mostly) try to live by that code of documenting everything, but try it just for one day, in your normal job, documenting every discussion, decision or action taken at time of doing so- then you will see the reality of just how difficult a task it is to keep up with.

You can add individual statutory duty of candour to that list for me. Another thing which Hunt fudged during his tenure to ensure it didn't happen. Without true candour, no other measures work. Crap in, crap out and all that...

It is in Scotland. And corporate Duty of Candour- equally important to address
#hyponatraemia and#gosport and many other episodes -
You have a statutory individual duty of candour for HCPs in Scotland? Not just a professional one? Really? Don't suppose you can point me towards the statute which makes that clear, could you please? Very interesting. And don't start me on
#Gosport. You'd be here a while! :) -
No Scotland doesn't have a statutory individual duty of candour. It is an organisational duty which has no enforcement criteria as Scotland (unbelievably) has no independent health regulator.
-
Oh! So Cathy was incorrect about that then? Perhaps explains the lack of response? And you don't even have an independent health regulator? (Not that ours South of the border is worth a damn). But how does that work?? Throw in the strange stance on 'intent' & it's very confusing.

It doesn't work at all especially for families let down by sub standard care. We only have an NHS in house quality assurance body (quango) which regurgitates IHI methodology and has no surveillance or intervention powers and cannot investigate individual cases.
-
Eh? So, dare I ask... who *does* independently investigate individual cases if there's whiff of cover up? (When isn't there such a whiff around the NHS?)
