There will be no clinical staff soon. Nobody is going to want to work in the conditions currently being experienced. People function on basic instincts under such pressure. I wouldn't.
-
No, nor me. Don't think I'd last 5 mins anyway - too honest for how things work currently. This is a reaction, imho. A push-back from patients who know the true cost that a lack of candour brings. Been coming a while, as Francis warned. Fix candour, prosecutions will drop, imho.

But I suspect that poor attention to duty of candour is more prevalent in trusts where the leadership at board level is poor, staff aren’t supported and management block expressions of concern. It’s principally an organisational cultural thing.
-
I wouldn't disagree with that. I'm sure there must be good, honest leaders out there. But on current experience, they don't appear to be common. Cover up seems to have been the widespread default option for some time, based upon any serious cases I've encountered.
-
But being practical, how many cases are there as a percentage of total patient admissions across the country during eg a year? I can’t believe that most clinicians are lying unethical people. I’ve only come across one or two in my whole career and I’ve been around a lot. >>

I’m not of course saying that lying etc is totally unacceptable, it can only ultimately lead to bad outcomes for all parties.
-
Last point first: I'm not sure you can judge the outcome from lying, in isolation from telling the truth re clinicians. Yes, the outcome from lying may be bad if discovered (unlikely) but the outcome from being caught telling the truth (guaranteed) can be much worse. All relative
-
On your point about prevalence, I think my description of 'serious' cases matters. It's not about admissions, it's about the response to serious failures, which we obv hope are rare. That's a much smaller number. A high % of which appear to suffer from cover ups. £? Reputation?
