| Annotation | "How abuse happens" by White considers the rising number of complaints to the UKCC about abusive nurses, and asks what kind of behaviour can land a nurse in front of the professional conduct committee. "What the doctor witnessed" by Harris asks whether bureaucracy and Project 2000 have replaced caring and comforting in nursing. "Rotten apples" considers if poor management and monitoring of staff behaviour are a contributing factor to abusive behaviour. Direct quotes from nurses involved in abusive behaviour are cited. "When power corrupts" by Neal outlines the professional boundaries which rest with the practitioner. Finally, "What price protection?" by Quick looks at the balance between the risk of patient abuse and the rights of health workers to confidentiality. (KJ/RH). |
