NHS Ethics

It seems that the NHS can, at times, slip in terms of Ethics. As part of their staff education in morals (the societal expectancy of good conduct) and Ethics (one's one knowing and certainty of and ability to differentiate destructive and constructive actions of self and others) should be drummed in harder in training. The recent bad publicity as a result of the "the few" is but an indicator of the wider issue. Dealing with sick people is not the calmest of tasks in a society. It takes people of a certain mettle to be on the front line of care. These we applaud. A person going in to help, letting their Ethics slip in terms of following correct medical procedure and record keeping and diagnosis etc. should be given help straight away. Hopefully NHS Management realises this is a prime task and they must take care of their workforce.
