Nursing Personnel are giving agency nurses and healthcare assistants an opportunity to give us your feedback and comments as to your experience form the first the 1st October 2011 re access to facilities in hospitals.

Nursing Personnel are working with Trusts to communicate to agency staff what facilities are available and how to access them.

How is government reform affecting nursing jobs?

Filed under: NHS Reforms,Nursing Jobs — Tags: , , — NursingPersonnel @ 11:38 am


 

In Nursing Personnel’s News section there are a number of recent articles from various view points on the government’s agenda and plans for reform in relation to the NHS.

In a nut shell the government said “savings will have to be made”, which in this current economic environment does make sense. However one of the promises made was “front line staff”; that being nurse jobs and doctor jobs, would not be affected and the cuts would be achieved by eliminating inefficiencies within the NHS.

Nursing Personnel are now giving nurses an opportunity to give their view, based on their experience in hospitals across the UK.  By logging into your account you can now comment on this topic and let us have your view on the way the NHS is changing. If you have experienced front line staff changes like nursing jobs being axed, let us know and we post your comments.
