Current NHS issues

Hi everyone

Just a quick question, does anyone know what the most recent and current issues in the NHS are? I am going for an interview in the endoscopy unit on the 16th for a staffnurse post and in the person specs they want the person to have some knowledge about current nhs issues... I was looking on the DOH website this morning and came across a proposal for the change of healthcare professional regulation... is this a current nhs issue or is this something completely different?? (very confused)

Hope you guys can shed some light..

Thanks

Would think finance would come into this a bit, working in community I have slightly different issues to think of but will have a look and see

Good luck on the interview

good luck with your interview

for me at the moment the most pertinent issue in the NHS is whether i will have the right amount of staff on my shift

There is also all this recent change to pay by service provided per patient rather than a set budget. I used that one in my interview earlier on in the year! Got the job.

Best bet is to read the current Nursing Times/Standard & pick a couple of bits up from there - they like to see you're keeping up with current affairs! Just don't hark on about the REALLY bad stuff:nurse:

Good luck
