I did once see a school thrash metal band at a local festival.. they thanked their parents for organising the gig then shouted “This one’s called ‘We Put The Laughter In Slaughterhouse’” followed by 90 seconds of very accomplished fret-melting.. made me guffaw out loud

Pete McTighe is a good genre writer, someone should give him a run at it 🤞

I know. But that is still how it should be when people’s lives are at stake. And that is what needs to be targeted first, not increased levels of “oversight”. Get the staff on the floor back to acceptable levels FIRST.

I disagree. In a job like medicine you need two people working together at all times so they can check and cross check each other. It’s common sense in a high-risk high stress environment. When staff levels are reduced, management bring in “oversight” to compensate. But it’s just not the same thing.

Ah ok, so just to follow up on my earlier question, as a Patient Safety Manager surely your job is currently compromised if staff shortages & absenteeism are at record highs. Every report you make must begin & end with staff levels not at the minimum complement?

Sure, but ‘consistent’ is not the right word. That implies they go out of their way to mislead. They are an investigative paper and I’m glad they’re there exposing the grifters. Of course they will get things wrong, but they’re not like the Daily Express who just make sh*t up

I think Private Eye have thoughts on your first point… to your 2nd, metrics assessing a workforce with a terrible record of stress-related sick leave can only be adding to the stress and skewing the results, not just documenting it. Or maybe it’s a self perpetuating loop of cause & effect

No, there’s too much admin & oversight, all those ‘performance metrics’ just add to the stress levels. And I don’t think increasing placements for doctors post FY2 can be classed as ‘absurd’, it’s a solid practical fix. Sweeping statements won’t help, it needs targeted action in the right places

Of course it is, but just throwing more money at the NHS won’t solve a thing. You need to root out these admin errors & inconsistencies and plug the training holes. And the last thing we should be doing is dividing the unions & Labour and opening the doors to the return of the Right.

By the same token, neither did current Labour win a landslide by pointing at the tories & shouting “Look at these w***ers!” There was enough there to suggest a credible alternative & the media be damned
