Codes of practice are pointless
Source: Linda
Codes of practice are pointless, it needs some legal teeth. Given the political drive to 24/7 GP services etc I can see more and more people being faced with unacceptable conflicts. The whole approach of the Govt is bullying. Not entirely sure where exactly they are going to 'magic' all the staff from to help spread the load so current staff are not asked to work crazy hours. Burnout and resulting accidents because of exhausted staff does not fit with the drive for safety and excellence. Resentful burnt out staff leave which leads to a vicious circle or has no one in govt worked that out
