I was wondering about the real indications for antipsychotic use in the elderly and maybe about those sort of semi-delusions that so many seem to have. Any literature you can point me to?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603157139685059974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-16530014117297696522008-07-26T23:19:00.000+01:002008-07-26T23:19:00.000+01:00But isn't your neck of the woods a much better wor...But isn't your neck of the woods a much better world than the rest of us? :)<BR/>I recall the advent of s25 supervision - which was because no-one was doing the s117 aftercare provisions properly and so in comes the 'tweaking' section with accountability.<BR/><BR/>GMC revalidation adds an extra layer and allows for ongoing monitoring - Correct me if I'm mistaken, but appraisals only stay with an employer - a GMC review would stay with the GMC. Locums would presumably not get very consistent appraisals if any and no idea how a GP running their own private sole-practitioner practice might get either a managerial or peer appraisal or revalidation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-61257626027018766062008-07-26T02:24:00.000+01:002008-07-26T02:24:00.000+01:00A good post full of good points.

For clinicians on the shop floor to be able to effect the best treatment for their patients, and thus truly have control of care, surely has to be the best option.<BR/><BR/>Tainted Halo, yes, revalidation will indeed consist of copying and pasting most of my appraisal stuff. As that currently fills a lever arch file, any more bureaucracy really isn't realistic. At present the doctor signing off on the appraisal has responsibility for this and can be held to account. This is impacting on how things work, e.g. junior doctors in training haven't had placements signed off as satisfactory and have to redo them because the Consultant wouldn't sign them off. The Dean asked it to happen, still wouldn't sign. This has caused headaches in the training scheme but is how it should be - the signature isn't an automatic rubber stamp, it's only done if the supervising doctor really is happy that the person they're assessing (student or Consultant colleague) is up to scratch.The Shrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009039342346247138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-585265175945751142008-07-25T03:17:00.000+01:002008-07-25T03:17:00.000+01:00I believe the revalidation will be an add-on to th...I believe the revalidation will be an add-on to the appraisal process rather than parallel process. <BR/><BR/>In my psychic world I see a piece of pro-forma paper being sent to GMC with ticks on it.<BR/><BR/>The interesting thing for me that no one seems to have considered yet - what of the supervisor who signs you off as competent - only to discover through the media you've been hoarding dead patients in your attic?<BR/><BR/>Is there going to be an accountability (to GMC/employer) on the supervisor signing off such a thing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-32540235627820921542008-07-25T01:02:00.000+01:002008-07-25T01:02:00.000+01:00I don't know why the Government thinks top-down co...I don't know why the Government thinks top-down control, people whose job it is to create paperwork for other people and paperwork will make the NHS any better.<BR/><BR/>Less central control and more local control focusing on the priorities of local areas is what is needed and what will improve the NHS ten fold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-18608458480198293922008-07-24T23:45:00.000+01:002008-07-24T23:45:00.000+01:00As a relative newcomer to the blogging scene, it h...As a relative newcomer to the blogging scene, it has been an eye-opener reading the posts of the various doctors with regards to the seemingly ridiculous policies the government have been responsible for.
