Datix abuse, a nurse’s ‘deplorable’ behaviour with emergency department (ED) patients, and working during pregnancy – our latest podcast delves into the issues getting nurses talking.
This week, Nursing Standard content editor Alistair Mason and senior journalist Shruti Sheth Trivedi bring you insights on nursing headlines that have caught our attention. They also discuss RCNi subscriber content, including safety issues being ignored or minimised by managers, and how to take a wound swab.
Our latest fitness to practise story covers the case of a nurse who was given a caution order by the Nursing and Midwifery Council after bodycam footage showed her using inappropriate language and conduct with patients in a hospital ED.
In other news, nurses spoke to us about Datix and other incident reports at their trusts being ignored or downgraded by senior staff, leading to them feeling demoralised and discouraged from raising concerns.
Our latest analysis looks at challenges for nurses during pregnancy including common workplace hazards, plus advice on how to ask for adjustments, while a ‘How to’ article features a step-by-step guide to taking a wound swab.
