Dan Poulter was an ex junior dr of mine and literally brought in every policy that has destroyed the NHS
He is joining the Labour Party so that post election he can be a medical advisor to the next Labour government.
It worries me what advice he will give
@Keir_Starmer if you want a passionately pro nhs doctor I'd be happy to advise.
I've also spent my career trying to help the nhs not destroy it.
Jeremy Hunt lauded an #NHS CEO for achievements in #PatientSafety, at the root of this was #CQC calling poor care Outstanding. I called in Don Berwick & Prof Chris Ham for their observations and this publication was the result. https://t.co/mB87Paxp3t
Bullying management culture has destroyed too many hospitals, patients and staff have, and still suffer. The rot starts at the top with the chief executive at Brighton more focussed on their £485,000 salary than the welfare of the patients and staff.
A Nuffield Health spokesperson said:
“The safety and wellbeing of our patients is our top priority, that’s why as a precautionary measure we have temporarily paused our complex colorectal surgery care pathway at our Brighton Hospital. We will continue to liaise with patients who may need their surgery to be rescheduled.”
“We have made this proactive decision as part of our standard clinical governance procedures, due to an increase in incidents with patients having complex colorectal surgery.”
