some nurse friends were discussing this and as i said them….
punish those responsible but blame the employers.
minimum wage,
no training,
no supervision,
no work based assessment.
some people are evil. they do bad things. they get fired.
pay a proper nurse, a proper wage and give them support to fire/suspend bad staff. Problem solved.
I’ve worked in care (including secure mental health) for 8 years. I’ve never been assaulted (except acute head injury patients/ dementia patents, which IMO doesn’t count) I’ve only restrained 2 people (both drugs mixed with psychiatric problems) and only ever hit one patient and he came at me with a knife.
for too long private healthcare has been barely regulated, barely controlled and staffed to the bare minimum. British care is a joke and people rarely care.
