I have today had a chance to look at the possible changes to the the code
of conduct. I feel that the code does seem to be over the top in some
areas. It is very wordy, which could be open to misinterpretation.
I have no problem with protecting the public, but is it going too far?
What about the protection for the nurse? If they are faced with a violent
patient can they refuse to give treatment. This was highlighted by last
nights Panorama programme.
What do other people think?
Kind regards
