That is the case for most protocols. Many believe they are the norm everywhere, and yet most places have very different policies. This is challenging for agency nurses. Until March 31 2017 50% of Nurses worked for an agency

It is worse than this all suggests. Once being oncall, study days and holidays the trainees are with ward team about 40-45% of time. I will be away some of this time. Also my timetable has only some of time on ward. So direct contact for passing on experience limited

And they wonder why negligence claims have gone through the roof? I'm not surprised. We should be putting the money into this, rather than paying far more out later for failing to do so. Ridiculous!

There is more classroom teaching than before, but education/supervision needs to be taken more seriously. Job plans for seniors need to have genuine time for supervision. It is suggested 1 hr per trainee per week for 1 to 1 supervision (this is in addition to on the job/ward)

Interesting, thank you Mark. Classroom time is important in any subject, but even patients realise passing your driving theory test doesn't mean you can drive. That particular transition to reality comes with L plates and a qualified driver at all times for a reason. It matters.

And lots of people get truly world class care despite it all

There are but it doesn’t work like that, 100 people getting 1st class care does not cancel out 1 person receiving appalling care.

Agree no patient should get poor CARE. However in cost restricted systems and rationing, it may be CARE without best (but cost “inefficient”) treatment
