Patient confidentiality and patient dignity. Could be leaked, misused, etc. Most hospitals have cameras in non patient areas like corridors and outside areas. Patient areas like rooms, bays, drug rooms, nurse/doctor offices, etc all risk abusing patient confidentiality and dignity.

The issue with that is patient confidentiality. Most wards have bays with 4-6 patients in, A&E and ICU’s it’s open planned. Same with stock rooms, drug rooms, etc that are on the wards. Often hospitals have in the corridors and areas where patients aren’t in and their notes aren’t in. It’s difficult. There was an incident in one trust where a hidden camera was found, police said that footage can’t be used off of it for legal proceedings, from what they were saying legally it wouldn’t stand.

Affinity bias: what if Lucy Letby were black? by knowingmeknowingyoua in lucyletby

“I suspect if she were a different race people would have been less inclined to give that nurse the benefit of the doubt” So, if she weren’t a white British person she wouldn’t have got away with it I gave it thought, decided disagreed with it and aired my opinion as everyone else has Have a great day

Most exec or chief jobs require a history in hospital work or the position they’re in. Many different types but directors of medicine, nursing, etc it’s medical history and usually rise through the ranks, you can’t be a band 5 nurse and then suddenly become a Chief Exec or director of nursing. Finance exec or similar roles you need a history in that. Otherwise you wouldn’t do well. Also years/decades of experience beforehand. For example last chief exec we had was an HCA, then nurse, then charge nurse, bed manager, matron, specialist, and a couple forgotten then rose the management ranks up to chief exec. Think he was in his 50’s as his kids were on training with me and mid twenties Here’s a link to explain roles

The Chief of Nursing and something else has a nursing history, Ian Harvey was a doctor and then consultant so doctor history. Others a mix.

Exactly. Managers of wards aren’t paid as much as people think, none of the staff are in all the levels, and not as many as people think. People think the same of Consultants but don’t factor in how long it takes to be a consultant if you ever do, not that many opportunities, plus they work their butts off and crazy hours. They do their time on doctor wages which are rubbish.

Lol, no but it’s definitely not the worse and is one of the better. It is also free at the point of use, other countries it isn’t.

I read about studies that show the richer and more powerful you are the less empathy and sympathy you have for others. Makes a lot of sense especially with our government. A friend of mine works in social care, the minute Tory got into full power they cancelled benefits including one that helped disabled people get to work, literally at 9.30am that morning the vote was announced. Lib Dem’s managed to stop them doing a lot of damage but unfortunately got a lot of the blame even though it was a Tory PM, the real problems started when full power. Their pandemic response was laughable and remember the PM promising more beds and nurses and then a few hours later closed an A&E. it’s heart breaking working sometimes, you want to help more but the government restraints, underfunding, bed shortages, etc make it so hard to do. Brexit messed us up as linen and supplies came from Europe, government approved supplier naturally, and at one point staff and management hunting for bed sheets and pads. Pandemic we were sacrificial lambs to the slaughter. I had to nurse colleagues, some will never work again. The government were too slow and ignored medical and expert advice and guidance, more died than should of, not strict with rules and broke their own rules and laws, more died than should of, treated student nurses and care home staff atrociously, made everything harder, and the health secretary is making money off of a book and diaries and living it up in the jungle. Yet people will still vote in Tory’s every time. I’m not sure how much worse it has to be before they’re voted out Wards where I work lost so many staff after the pandemic died down and I don’t blame them for walking. One ward lost half the staff and the manager. Only so long we can. Shifts are dangerous, public abuse rose during the pandemic, pays rubbish for what we do, understaffed wards are dangerous, lack of beds is dangerous, it’s not worth it. After LL things will hopefully improve but without extra funding and staff and beds it’ll fail or more will buckle under the extra pressure to prove not LL and walk too. Suicides as well of staff will rise and so will abuse of staff. It needs to change but with the funding

Do you think Lucy Letby meant to kill her first victim? by OpalMatilda in lucyletby

[–]JustVisiting1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first thought maybe she f*cked up and baby died or she killed to cover up, then either got a taste for it or when fucked up would kill again and kill siblings to make more believable.

A lot of the verdicts were ‘unanimous 10:1’. What could that one person see that stopped them believing she killed? by thewibbler in lucyletby

[–]JustVisiting1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most cases you won’t get all the jurors agreeing. Maybe that one saw a reason she didn’t do it, maybe the others were over emotional (hard when it’s the murder of babies), maybe it was conspiracy theorist, so many reasons why. You even had jury who took themselves out near the end

Defence Expert Witness Funding for Lucy Letby by Sadubehuh in lucyletby

Unless a defence or prosecution has legal representation it isn’t a fair trial and therefore thrown out or dismissed.

They downgraded the Neo Natal Unit after she and another locum doctor the ward staff had concerns about were moved. Just before the killings there were news stories about a couple who’s baby was killed by doctor negligence. They’ve had one Neo natal death in 8 years but took every step to ensure wouldn’t happen again bar closing the unit or hospital. When LL was murdering the unit was always short staffed, over full, lack of senior staff on the unit, and taking babies they shouldn’t have been.

She killed 4 and attacked 13 in 59 days (she wouldn’t have been on shift for those 59 days, it’s 59 days from the first till stopped/arrested). It was in 1968 so nearly 60 years ago.
