In cases of leave of any type we have a small group of NP's that act as
back or agency nurses. Leave can only be taken one at the time to minimise
disruption. All medical reports and statements I made based on the notes
and I examine the patient if the solicitors request that.
If we need to discipline, I have not done it so far. I will take in the
head of nursing and the manager of the hospital and we would do it as a
three some.
We have a group of GP's (3 practices 11 GP's) that act as back up for about
20% of cases. They are paid by the Trust and carry their own liability.
