Hi Jayne,
The reason given to me is that a nurse who works on Ward A, and had access to the glucose meters, could go to visit a family member in A&E and look up the glucose result for that family member on the A&E meter as they would have barcode access to the A&E meter!
What result a staff member accesses on the actual meter is not tracked.
Hopefully I will have enough evidence from other sites to be allowed to continue as we are now - with trained staff being able to use all the meters.
Thanks,
Theresa
