Download or read book Report of the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry written by Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This public inquiry report into serious failings in healthcare that took place at the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust builds on the first independent report published in February 2010 (ISBN 9780102964394). It further examines the suffering of patients caused by failures by the Trust: there was a failure to listen to its patients and staff or ensure correction of deficiencies. There was also a failure to tackle the insidious negative culture involving poor standards and a disengagement from managerial and leadership responsibilities. These failures are in part a consequence of allowing a focus on reaching national access targets, achieving financial balance and seeking foundation trust status at the cost of delivering acceptable care standards. Further, the checks and balances that operate within the NHS system should have prevented the serious systemic failure that developed at Mid Staffs. The system failed in its primary duty to protect patients and maintain confidence in the healthcare system. This report identifies numerous warning signs that could and should have alerted the system to problems developing at the Trust. It also sets out 290 recommendations grouped around: (i) putting the patient first; (ii) developing a set of fundamental standards, easily understood and accepted by patients; (iii) providing professionally endorsed and evidence-based means of compliance of standards that are understood and adopted by staff; (iv) ensuring openness, transparency and candour throughout system; (v) policing of these standards by the healthcare regulator; (vi) making all those who provide care for patients , properly accountable; (vii) enhancing recruitment, education, training and support of all key contributors to the provision of healthcare; (viii) developing and sharing ever improving means of measuring and understanding the performance of individual professionals, teams, units and provider organisations for the patients, the public, and other stakeholders.

Download or read book Principles and Management of Acute Orthopaedic Trauma written by Godwin Iwegbu and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition represents a substantial revision of the second, with additional topics, material and illustrations. Aimed mainly at general and orthopaedic surgeons in Residency Training, the text provides learning and practical/revision topics for practising orthopaedic surgeons, general practitioners, radiologists, medical students, orthopaedic nurses, physiotherapists, radiographers and plaster technicians. This is what Professor Chris Bulstrode of Oxford thought of the 2nd edition (2004): This book is ideal for a medical student. The writing is crystal clear, the content comprehensive but not excessive and the price really low. It also covers an area rarely touched on in other books, orthopaedics and trauma in the third world. This is a huge subject but has many simple principles which have been forgotten in the first world. If you are going on an elective or are planning to work in the third world in ANY branch of medicine you would be wise to have this book on your shelf. Enjoy And this is what Dr Stephen Fox, a former orthopaedic resident in England, thought of the same edition: Principles and Management of Acute Orthopaedic Trauma provides a concise and practical coverage of orthopaedic medicine. Starting at basics for the medical undergraduate, the text explains basic anatomy and physiology and the principles of sound orthopaedic management. The latter section of the book (Parts III, IV and V) explores the challenging treatment decisions in day-to-day orthopaedic trauma management. Few books present these treatment options in such a pragmatic and unbiased manner. I can thoroughly recommend this book to all concerned in the management of acute orthopaedic trauma.
