    English and Welsh Ombudsman set out the case for '... a proper public inquiry into the tragic death of Robbie Powell'

    in Investigations, risk management and legal issues

    I'm ashamed to say I didn't know all this but then it can be tough just getting my teeth cleaned some days.

    Steve, you've done some incredible work here and so has Will clearly. No small feat to get that Duty of Candour through but I understand now much better why that is insufficient and we absolutely need to bang the drum on this one.

    I remember my Dad getting investigated by GMC over false claims. It nearly destroyed him with stress but I know he wouldn't have had it any other way as Dad absolutely believed in accountability and I know how frustrated he would get over wrongdoing or stupidity. 

    I feel we need to follow up our Dark Jedi chat with another on Duty of Candour and highlight this loophole. We did actually cover it but I feel we really need to promote awareness of this issue further.

    Thanks for being a HCP with absolute integrity, genuine compassion and committed to this just cause.

    I'm sorry for your loss Will. If you read this, I'd like to thank you (and Steve) for making Duty of Candour happen, just need to fix that loophole next.

    We will get there, just needs the good eggs to work together and never give up

    Dom 😊

    Safe prescribing of medicines – are all prescribers following the National Competency Framework?

    in Medication

    Posted

    Great blog Steve, I must check out those links at the bottom too. Definitely must book that video chat on prescribing. Still want to do blog counter argument over use of opioids long term. However I do hope Medical Cannabis is embraced as I know that could reduce amount of opiods needed for quality of life. 

    I'm a libertarian and believe as long as we are given the facts and any warnings, then it should be upto the Patient to choose what medication they put into their bodies!

    So sick of hearing people having opiods cut to zero and not a thing to replace them. They are treated and thought of as addicts. One was even put on an even more toxic synthetic opiod Methadone. From experience I know how addictive that stuff is.

    Taking prescribing decisions away from the patients just infantilises them and creates an even bigger problem, just off the radar!
