Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

        An episode of Horizon on education said basically the same thing years ago. If you find out what people think they know and explain why it's wrong *before* you give them the correct info they learn much more. Like emptying dirty water from a bucket before you fill it with clean.

        Ha! Nice analogy. Even then you have to clean the bucket thoroughly before putting the fresh water in.

        If you just try to tell someone something they'll sit there thinking 'no it's not', and won't take on board what you're saying. The difficulty is canvassing what they think and pulling it apart without them becoming hostile or accusing you of being negative.

        Totally agree. I always used to start with tell me what you think and why you think it, then I'll do the same. After that, we can talk about the differences. Golden rule applies at all times - best idea wins. Even if it's not mine.

        25 years working in the NHS, absolute nightmare trying to achieve agreement to effect positive change, it was so absurd and ridiculous no one would believe it.

        I now wonder if anything I did during those 25 years actually achieved anything ... I worked in non-clinical research.

        How disheartening. Sorry Fiona. That's a lot of time out of your life to find yourself questioning the value of it. :(

        It is disheartening, I knew it at the time, but I enjoyed some of the work, enjoyed working with some colleagues. was paid well, had a final salary pension etc etc. Most of the research was funded by Scottish Govt and it seems to have done no good whatsoever.

        The price tag is no indication of quality, sadly. I always ask the same question after any 'intervention': What changed? If the answer is nothing, then everybody just wasted their time and money (our money, when gov funded) for no good reason. No matter how clever it sounded.

        With a lot of research projects, there is no way of knowing whether they had an impact or not but most of my work was around recruitment and retention of doctors and I only see things getting worse but of course there are many reasons for that.

        Yes, that's a multi-faceted problem. Not easy to measure the impact of your work without a control group, protected from all the other influences. Impossible to find, I'd suggest.

        Defending the rock? I've been scratching my head trying to remember what this relates to, but he always struck me as someone who could defend himself tbh. 😂pic.twitter.com/wt7Uvx5mD3

        Oh yes. Can't believe how many HCPs "already know" what the Mental Capacity Act says such that no amount of education can persuade them they have it wrong. Spent an hour last week w HCP who would only follow Advance Decision if it was in P's best interests ("according to MCA")!

        I've heard that MCA point several times actually. Seems to be a big issue. I know I've been taken aback by how many HCPs I've had to explain the law surrounding consent to over the years, so I suppose this aspect of it shouldn't surprise me.

        I had a DOLS team tell me that the locked door was the reason the DOLS was granted. When I asked what would happen if someone got out of the locked door..I got but how could they do that??
