[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 157469"] As the OP, I have been looking for more information on this subject and have come across the following, Liberating the NHS: An Information Revolution. [url=http://consultations.dh.gov.uk/information-revolution/informationrevolution/consult_view]http://consultations.dh.gov.uk/informat ... nsult_view[/url] Having worked for the NHS for 36 years I am of the opinion that this cannot be implemented successfully. We are supposed to have a level of care second to none as diabetics and we read here every day that some newly diagnosed do not get basic information and are unaware of what they are entitled to. Improvement is needed as things are now before new ideas are brought into play. The NHS has been in decline for several years now and is getting worse by the day. Things look great on paper but work at the coal face and you will see that it is a shambles. I used to be proud to be a nurse but I would advise any young person who is thinking about joining the profession that they need to be able to cope with unnecessary stress on a daily basis and this does not come from patients but from the bean counters who have to justify their existence. They must have decimated a whole rain forest in my Trust area alone and most of it is pointless and patronising. If they had their way we would be filling in pointless surveys, putting forward ideas for cost cutting etc. and all this enforced rubbish is detrimental to patient care. That should be the priority, doing the best for the patient and not justifying a bean counter's huge salary. [/QUOTE]
