Isn't some part of this to do with a perceived need to create a 'career structure' and also a salary/status one, for people who work with and alongside doctors?<BR/><BR/>(I think I know what a medical consultant is, or rather, I think I knew, in the old days of Senior Registrars and Consultants.)clemmatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194179328482279010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-10655520456779604122009-02-14T18:41:00.000+00:002009-02-14T18:41:00.000+00:00i've never met one, i do not know of one. dunno if...i've never met one, i do not know of one. dunno if it's related or not but i was encouraged to consider the nurse prescribing course once but i felt it involved taking on tons more responsability on the cheap for the nhs.so? nah i did'nt.GThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564814880212089685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-20580525819972663142009-02-14T12:49:00.000+00:002009-02-14T12:49:00.000+00:00cb: yeah the bed allocation remains the medical pr...cb: yeah the bed allocation remains the medical prerogative - and the extra clinical detail might help with placement .

And quite rightly in my view - I like the different structures that exist and being slightly separate from the usual hierarchy in the NHS as we are seconded to the MH Trust from the local authority.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652768793937457682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-17240006555191653882009-02-11T10:38:00.000+00:002009-02-11T10:38:00.000+00:00Now Shrink, you must be aware at how extremely unf...Now Shrink, you must be aware at how extremely unfair this question is.<BR/>It is whatever they say it is - variant betwixt SHAs.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see them develop with the same broad uniformity as medical but you've got a couple hundred years head start.<BR/><BR/>However, and on a scary note - I received my AMHP authority last month. Involuntary admission for assessment under MHA is my limit.<BR/>I used it the first time this week.<BR/>The medical team made me jump through a couple of (generally acceptable) hoops before a bed was available but odd how even when the Director of MH and the State MH Act authorises me to admit for assessment - I still have to do that little bit extra to keep the medics happy before they make a bed available.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489009971732520747.post-18998555776840677692009-02-10T21:11:00.000+00:002009-02-10T21:11:00.000+00:00I actually have no idea!But I thought I would fina...I actually have no idea!<BR/><BR/>But I thought I would finally comment on your blog and tell you how much I enjoy reading it.<BR/><BR/>I am tentatively posting again on my blog...
