Download or read book 2012 Accountability Hearing with the Care Quality Commission written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The failures of Care Quality Commission (CQC) prompted the Department of Health to undertake a performance and capability review which produced a wide range of recommendations. The decision by CQC board member Kay Sheldon to give evidence as a whistleblower added to the controversy. She identified serious failings within the management, organisation, functions and culture of the CQC and it is unacceptable that the CQC failed to address and act on them before she felt compelled to approach the public inquiry. It is clear from the evidence presented by the CQC's outgoing Chair, Jo Williams, and recently appointed Chief Executive, David Behan, that the regulator is aware of the reforms that must be implemented. The CQC's primary focus should be on ensuring that the essential standards it enforces can be interpreted by the public as a guarantee of acceptable standards in care. The CQC's essential standards in their current form do not succeed in this objective. Equally, the CQC must be far more diligent in communicating the outcomes of inspections, especially to residents in social care and their immediate family. In the long-term, the CQC has a role to play in facilitating a culture of challenge and response across health and social care so that identifying and addressing failings becomes a standard process for staff and management. Providers must support staff in raising concerns in order for those staff to meet their own professional duties. Those organisations who fail in this obligation should be refused registration by the CQC.

Book Synopsis The Commodity of Care by : Carol Dimon
Download or read book The Commodity of Care written by Carol Dimon and published by The Cloister House Press. This book was released on 2013-08-30 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the book is to analyse why poor nursing care is still occurring within care homes and hospitals in the UK, the USA, and Australia, despite numerous recommendations over more than 30 years. It became evident through the course of research that provision of care depended on the dominant political ethos, sometimes termed free market ideology or neoliberalism – terms describing an economic theory which claims the market should be the sole determinant of people’s lifestyle choices, and that the market should be free from government interference, since it is self-regulating. The Commodity of Care documents the pervasive influence of some neoliberal reforms of healthcare. The emphasis will be on what negates good nursing care delivered with a compassionate attitude. Any reform, from whatever political perspective, that promotes good, compassionate care should be supported by all nurses, who should equally oppose measures that lead to poor and indifferent care.

Book Synopsis Regulating Patient Safety by : Oliver Quick
Download or read book Regulating Patient Safety written by Oliver Quick and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systematically improving patient safety is of the utmost importance, but it is also an extremely complex and challenging task. This illuminating study evaluates the role of professionalism, regulation and law in seeking to improve safety, arguing that the 'medical dominance' model is ill-suited to this aim, which instead requires a patient-centred vision of professionalism. It brings together literatures on professions, regulation and trust, while examining the different legal mechanisms for responding to patient safety events. Oliver Quick includes an examination in areas of law which have received little attention in this context, such as health and safety law, and coronial law, and contends in particular that the active involvement of patients in their own treatment is fundamental to ensuring their safety.

Book Synopsis Independent Police Complaints Commission by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee
Download or read book Independent Police Complaints Commission written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When public trust in the police is tested by complaints of negligence, misconduct and corruption, a strong watchdog is vital to get to the truth: but the IPCC leaves the public frustrated and faithless. The public are bewildered by its continued reliance on the very forces it is investigating. The IPCC investigated just a handful of cases and often arrived at the scene late, when the trail had gone cold. Serious cases involving police corruption or misconduct are left underinvestigated, while the Commission devotes resources to less serious complaints. It is woefully underequipped to supervise the 43 forces of England and Wales, never mind the UKBA, HMRC, NCA and all the private sector agencies involved in policing. It is buried under the weight of poor police investigations and bound by its limited powers. The Committee makes a number of recommendations including: that the Commission should be given a statutory power to require a force to implement its findings and in the most serious cases, the Commission should instigate a "year on review" to ensure that its recommendations have been properly carried out, the Commission should be given a statutory power to require a force to implement its findings and the most serious cases, the Commission should instigate a 'year on review', the Commission's jurisdiction should be extended to cover private sector contractors
Book Synopsis Mental Health and Mental Capacity Law for Social Workers by : Simon Godefroy
Download or read book Mental Health and Mental Capacity Law for Social Workers written by Simon Godefroy and published by Learning Matters. This book was released on 2015-07-22 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many social work students find the study of mental health legislation a complex and at times challenging process. Acts of law can seem irrelevant and far-removed from everyday practice and the person-centred approach that many social workers take. This book introduces students to the fundamental principles of mental health law and how they can be applied to everyday practice. There are clear introductions to key Acts such as the Mental Capacity Act and the Mental Health Act as well as the relevant Codes of Practice. These introductions, applied to social work case examples from practice, make this book a perfect key text for the social work law module. Students will see that mental health law doesn′t exist in a vacuum and instead develops and evolves through constant interaction with the fundamental principles of sound social work practice.
Book Synopsis The Irish Welfare State in the Twenty-First Century by : Mary P. Murphy
Download or read book The Irish Welfare State in the Twenty-First Century written by Mary P. Murphy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical and theoretically-informed assessment of the nature and types of structural change occurring in the Irish welfare state in the context of the 2008 economic crisis. Its overarching framework for conceptualising and analysing welfare state change and its political, economic and social implications is based around four crucial questions, namely what welfare is for, who delivers welfare, who pays for welfare, and who benefits. Over the course of ten chapters, the authors examine the answers as they relate to social protection, labour market activation, pensions, finance, water, early child education and care, health, housing and corporate welfare. They also innovatively address the impact of crisis on the welfare state in Northern Ireland. The result is to isolate key drivers of structural welfare reform, and assess how globalisation, financialisation, neo-liberalisation, privatisation, marketisation and new public management have deepened and diversified their impact on the post-crisis Irish welfare state. This in-depth analysis will appeal to sociologists, economists, political scientists and welfare state practitioners interested in the Irish welfare state and more generally in the analysis of welfare state change.
Book Synopsis The Assemblage Brain by : Tony D. Sampson
Download or read book The Assemblage Brain written by Tony D. Sampson and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, neuroscience was born. A dazzling array of neurotechnologies emerged that, according to popular belief, have finally begun to unlock the secrets of the brain. But as the brain sciences now extend into all corners of cultural, social, political, and economic life, a yet newer world has taken shape: “neuroculture,” which goes further than ever before to tackle the profound ethical implications we face in consequence. The Assemblage Brain unveils a major new concept of sense making, one that challenges conventional scientific and philosophical understandings of the brain. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, Tony D. Sampson calls for a radical critical theory that operates in the interferences between philosophy, science, art, and politics. From this novel perspective the book is structured around two questions: “What can be done to a brain?” and “What can a brain do?” Sampson examines the rise of neuroeconomics in informing significant developments in computer work, marketing, and the neuropharmaceutical control of inattentiveness in the classroom. Moving beyond the neurocapitalist framework, he then reestablishes a place for proto-subjectivity in which biological and cultural distinctions are reintegrated in an understanding of the brain as an assemblage. The Assemblage Brain unravels the conventional image of thought that underpins many scientific and philosophical accounts of how sense is produced, providing a new view of our current time in which capitalism and the neurosciences endeavor to colonize the brain.
Book Synopsis The Legitimacy of Medical Treatment by : Sara Fovargue
Download or read book The Legitimacy of Medical Treatment written by Sara Fovargue and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whenever the legitimacy of a new or ethically contentious medical intervention is considered, a range of influences will determine whether the treatment becomes accepted as lawful medical treatment. The development and introduction of abortion, organ donation, gender reassignment, and non-therapeutic cosmetic surgery have, for example, all raised ethical, legal, and clinical issues. This book examines the various factors that legitimatise a medical procedure. Bringing together a range of internationally and nationally recognised academics from law, philosophy, medicine, health, economics, and sociology, the book explores the notion of a treatment, practice, or procedure being proper medical treatment, and considers the range of diverse factors which might influence the acceptance of a particular procedure as appropriate in the medical context. Contributors address such issues as clinical judgement and professional autonomy, the role of public interest, and the influence of resource allocation in decision-making.

Book Synopsis Children Behind Bars by : Carolyne Willow
Download or read book Children Behind Bars written by Carolyne Willow and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2015-02-11 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day children exiled to prison are exposed to abusive and neglectful treatment, yet their plight is hidden. Based on wide-ranging research and first-person interviews, this passionately argued book presents the shocking truth about the lives and deaths of children in custody. Drawing on human rights legislation and progress in the care and treatment of vulnerable children elsewhere, it outlines the harsh realities of penal child custody including hunger, denial of fresh air, cramped and dirty cells, strip-searching, segregation, the authorised infliction of severe pain, uncivilised conditions for suicidal children and ever-present violence and intimidation. The issues are explored through the lens of protection, not punishment, and the author finds there can be only one conclusion: child prisons must close. Providing a compelling manifesto for urgent and radical change, this book should be read by everyone who cares about child protection and human rights.

Book Synopsis PIP breast implants by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee
Download or read book PIP breast implants written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Health Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2012 the Health Committee undertook an inquiry into 'PIP Breast implants and regulation of cosmetic interventions' (HC 1816, 16th report session 2010-12, ISBN 9780215043474). The Government response to that report (Cm. 8351, ISBN 9780101835121) is not commented upon here. This report follows on from the earlier conclusion that all possible evidence, including patient-reported experiences, must be gathered and analysed in order to inform the policy response to the issue. The timescale of the earlier inquiry did not allow evidence to be taken directly from those women affected. The Committee therefore established a web forum where women with PIP implants could explain how they had learned about the issues; what they had been told about their implants when they were provided; their experiences with their private providers once they had discovered they had PIP implants; and the support they received privately or from the NHS in having the implants removed or replaced. The web forum was open for comments during May 2012. By the time the forum closed to new comments on 31 may 2012, 194 women had registered with the forum and left 279 posts. By 24 June 2012 the forum had received over 4, 230 page views. This report summarises the responses received on the forum.

Some key findings included that 1 in 5 nursing home inspections revealed safety concerns; 47% of problems uncovered in the NHS were judged to have 'major' or 'moderate' impact on patients; 1 in 10 independent healthcare inspections were not meeting standards of safeguarding and safety; and 7% of dental care inspections raised concerns relating to safeguarding and safety
