This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Health Committee welcomes improvements in the performance of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) over the last year, but expresses continuing concern that the progress made so far remains fragile. The Committee emphasises that it is important to ensure that the new challenges facing the NMC do not become a distraction from the continuing requirement to improve its performance of its core functions. The report is the first example of a Health Committee review of a professional regulator which builds on the work of the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). The length of time the NMC takes to conclude its fitness to practise cases has been an enduring concern for the Committee. From 2015, the NMC proposes to toughen the target period for resolving fitness to practise cases to 15 months (eventually to 12 months). The NMC has announced plans to introduce a system of revalidation by the end of 2015 which is welcomed. The Francis Report into the failings at Mid Staffs examined the role of regulators, including the NMC, in detail. The report stresses the importance of ensuring firstly that registrants understand their professional obligation to raise concerns when they see evidence of poor patient care, and secondly that patients and public are made more aware of the role of the NMC as the regulator of professional and clinical standards. The NMC should take urgent steps to raise the profile of the NMC both among its registrants and among patients and public.

This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is a vital safeguard for care quality and patient safety, but "over a number of years the NMC has failed to understand its function and properly prioritise patient safety". The new management team in the NMC is committed to address its failings. However there continues to be a serious gap between current performance and acceptable standards. The NMC has proposed that fitness to practise cases should be decided on average within 18 months of a complaint being received; the Committee proposes that this should be reduced to 9 months, with a maximum of 12 months. The NMC also has had a poor track record of fitness to practise decisions being challenged and overturned. The CHRE has needed to almost routinely refer NMC decisions to the High Court. It is also unacceptable that the NMC underestimated the budget for its fitness to practise directorate by 30%. The Government's intervention to limit the effect of the fee increase on registrants is welcomed. However, nurses and midwives still face a 32% fee increase at a time of public sector pay restraint. A further fee increase can not be justified and the NMC should consider introducing a phased payment system for registrants. The language and communication skills of nurses and midwives remain a concern. MPs also question why the NMC has made such slow progress on a system of revalidation. Lastly, many of the NMC's problems stem from inadequate IT infrastructure where two key systems cannot communicate directly and deliver incomplete or inaccurate information

This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Health Committee reports on the annual accountability hearings with the General Medical Council (GMC) (HC 1429) and Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (HC 1428). The reports call for doctors and nurses to develop a wider responsibility for the overall quality of care delivered to patients and they have an obligation as professionals to report to their professional body any concerns they have about the quality of care being delivered by their colleagues. The GMC and the NMC must give a strong lead in this area and ensure that failure to act on this responsibility is regarded as a serious breach of professional obligation. The Committee stresses that both regulators need to have effective revalidation processes in place so that they can periodically check on how doctors and nurses are performing. The Committee recognises that the NMC is making steady progress towards being an effective regulator but cautions that there remains substantial ground to cover before it can be considered fully effective: work around pro-active regulation (risk-based visits) must be expanded; guidance about the care of older people must be reinforced by an action plan to deliver improved outcomes in this group. Government and both regulators must speed up efforts to resolve the serious problems posed by doctors and nurses who qualify elsewhere in Europe, and earn the right to work in the UK without having their language or medical skills tested. The UK and European law that underpins the workings of both regulators needs a complete overhaul.

Download or read book 2013 Accountability Hearing with the General Medical Council - HC 897 written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GMC's fitness to practise successfully produces outcomes that protect patients from sub-standard doctors but failures to communicate the reasons for decisions and poor investigative practices have undermined a small number on investigations. The GMC should review its fitness to practice procedures to prevent such mistake. The Committee also found that while it is still too early to judge whether revalidation has been effective there is a worrying approach to the oversight of revalidation. Each designated body has a responsible officer for revalidating their medical staff, but the degree to which the responsible officer will be held to account is unclear. It is imperative that the GMC clarifies the personal responsibility and accountability of responsible officers. There is also concern over the number of responsible officers available to oversee the revalidation of doctors working in primary care. GPs are revalidated not by their own employers but by one of the 27 NHS England local area teams that oversees Clinical Commissioning Groups in England. Just 27 responsible officers will be tasked with overseeing revalidation for approximately 45,0000 GPs in England. The Government's intention had been to give the GMC the power to allow it to appeal decisions made by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) in 2014 by using a mechanism in secondary legislation called a section 60 order. The Government now plans to introduce the reform in primary legislation as part of a proposed Law Commission Bill thus meeting with even further delay

This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year's inquiry into the work of Monitor concludes that the model of care provided by the health and care system is not changing quickly enough with the result that pressures continue to build, threatening the financial stability of individual providers, and therefore the quality of care provided The pressures are likely to be particularly marked in the acute sector as plans are prepared and implemented to achieve the resource transfer required by the introduction of the Better Care Fund from April 2015. Continuing this theme, the Committee argues that as the NHS financial situation tightens, the challenge for Monitor in supporting trusts in financial difficulty is likely to increase. The MPs emphasise the importance of addressing pressures within individual providers in the context of the local health economy. The requirement for major change in the care model can only be delivered if individual providers, and Monitor as their regulator, look beyond preserving existing structures and address the need to develop different structures to meet changing needs. The Committee also expresses concern that Monitor has not done enough to reform the system of tariff payments for providers, arguing that the current tariff arrangements often create perverse incentives for providers and inhibit necessary service change. It recommends that Monitor and NHS England should initiate a formal joint process for a prioritised review of the NHS tariff arrangements with the objective of identifying and eliminating perverse incentives and introducing new tariff structures which incentivise necessary service change

This book was released on 2015 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diet, obesity, and physical activity all have important impacts on health. For too long however, physical activity has been seen merely in the light of its benefits in tackling obesity. A core message from this inquiry is the compelling evidence that physical activity in its own right has huge health benefits totally independent of a person's weight. The importance of this - regardless of weight, age, gender or other factors - needs to be clearly communicated. Interventions focused on encouraging individuals to change their behaviour with regard to diet and physical activity need to be underpinned by broader, population-level measures. Whilst both are important, population-level interventions have the advantage of impacting on far greater numbers than could ever benefit from individual interventions. The Committee recommends that the next Government prioritises prevention, health promotion and early intervention to tackle the health inequalities and avoidable harm resulting from poor diet and physical inactivity. The Committee regards it as inexplicable and unacceptable that the NHS is now spending more on bariatric surgery for obesity than on a national roll-out of intensive lifestyle intervention programmes that were first shown to cut obesity and prevent diabetes over a decade ago. All tiers of weight management services should be universally available and individual clinicians should use every opportunity to help their patients to recognise and address the problems caused by obesity and poor diet, and to promote the benefits of physical activity.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report looks at the state of end of life care since the independent Review of the Liverpool Care Pathway, chaired by Baroness Neuberger. It finds great variation in quality and practice across both acute and community settings. It makes a number of recommendations for improvement, and in particular strongly recommends that social care should be free at the end of life. Other conclusions included that: all clinicians and providers who may care for people at the end of life should be aware of the Five Priorities of Care but in light of the variation in practice a senior named person in each NHS Trust be given responsibility for monitoring how end of life care is being delivered within their organisation; expertise should be more equitably available to people with a non-cancer diagnosis, older people and those with dementia; all staff who provide palliative and end of life care to people with life limiting conditions should receive training in advance care planning, including the different models and forms that are available and their legal status; most people who express a preference would like to die at home but that is made more difficult by the shortfall in community nurses and specialist outreach palliative care; sustainable, long term funding for the hospice sector also needs to be addressed as part of the Government's response to the Palliative Care Funding Review; and bereavement support for families should also be consistently included as part of end of life care

This book was released on 2013-08-14 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the Health Committee, more needs to be done to protect the interests of patients who rely on mental health services. The Committee has undertaken a review of the 2007 Mental Health Act (ISBN 9780105412076). Many psychiatric wards are over capacity and there is huge pressure on beds, nevertheless, the Committee was shocked to learn that there is evidence that patients who need hospital treatment are being sectioned unnecessarily in order to access a bed. This represents a serious violation of patient's basic rights and it is never acceptable for patients to be subjected to compulsory detention unless it is clinically necessary. The 2007 Act contained important provisions which introduced Community Treatment Orders (CTOs). These orders allow for patients to be treated in the community whilst still being subject to recall to hospital if their condition deteriorates. The Committee is also concerned that pressure on hospital beds may be driving increased use of CTOs. MPs also examined the function of Independent Mental Health Advocates who help patients take advantage of their rights whilst in hospital. The Committee is in no doubt that a patient's primary advocate should be their clinician and independent advocates, ultimately, provide an important, but supplementary, service

This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NHS needs to be an organization in which an open dialogue about care quality is part of the natural culture of the organization, not a duty which only arises in cases of service failure. Robert Francis made 290 recommendations in his report, but in truth they boil down to just one - that the culture of 'doing the system's business' is pervasive in parts of the NHS and has to change. Many who raise their concerns in the NHS at present risk serious consequences for their employment and professional status. But disciplinary procedures, professional conduct hearings and employment tribunals are not the proper place for honestly-held concerns about patient safety and care quality to be aired constructively. The NHS standard contract imposes a duty of candour on all NHS providers. This is an essential principle, but it is not adequately understood or applied. It should mean that all providers create a culture which is routinely open both with their patients and their commissioners. The same principle should apply to commissioners so that they are routinely open and accountable to local communities. The Health Committee recommended this approach in 2011 and repeats that now. It should be a prime role of the CQC to encourage the development of this culture within care providers, and of NHS England to develop the same culture within commissioners. The Health Committee will in future work closely with the Professional Standards Authority to develop the accountability process for professional regulators in healthcare

This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In April 2010 Dr David Bennett was appointed as interim Chief Executive of Monitor and then as Chair in March 2011. He was appointed permanent Chief Executive of Monitor with effect from 1 November 2012, while remaining as Chair pending a new appointment. On 10 October 2013, the Secretary of State proposed to appoint Dominic Dodd as Chair of Monitor. Dr Bennett has filled the roles of both Chair and Chief Executive - effectively Executive Chair - and has led Monitor through the whole process of change brought about by the Health and Social Care Act 2012. He has both shaped and interpreted the role that Monitor now plays in the system which makes the transition to another individual taking on the Chair an especially difficult one. On this basis the Committee did not endorse Mr Dodd's appointment
