Patient safety
Abstract
I wish to bring to your attention a matter of concern which does not appear to have been addressed by the nursing profession. It has been my privilege to be involved in risk management activities on behalf of patients in the private and public sector for the past three years. The present use of carers in the formal health sector is a growing concern, and has been voiced by patients, their families and “grassroots” nurses.
