Not sure even 'Nicola' would agree Perception is everything. Most people don't look beyond how politicians come across on the TV. Nicola is empathetic and confident and when you compare that to the blubbering buffoon in Westminster she could cull pensioners live on BBC One and still be revered by a large proportion of the population. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 22 hours ago, Tynierose said: I'm not sure if they have went with the approach of getting retired nurses etc to give the jabs, if not they should. They sent emails around my place asking if anyone would go give jabs in care homes or treatment hubs paid at substantive wage level. The uptake has been pretty low though as a lot of staff are just fucking knackered after this year and the thought of even more hours isn't appealing. To be fair though to health boards they are spunking some money at it if they're willing to offer band 7's & 8's substantive pay to fire out what can be done by band 3's, so I think they are making the effort. I just don't think they have the staff. To be honest training someone to do a jag doesn't take more than a few minutes, and you can get round supervision issues with having a medic on site. Maybe they should have approached members of the public to train. After all Naloxone training consists of stabbing an orange and lasts about an hour, maybe think out the box here a wee bit as it's a public health crisis and get willing volunteers in to train. The big issue again though is regulation and what goes wrong if an untrained member of staff gives a jab and full anaphylaxis kicks in. A Patient Group Directive document most likely wouldn't cover non staff. The joy of clinical governance and health and safety concerns would also need to be overcome. So in essence there are issues but there are also solutions I feel. Anyway over the the health boards... I got a ten min blurb from the community nurse on how to epipen my daughter so I don’t suppose much more for issuing a vaccine jab to patient no allergies, with medic on-site if something goes wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
