i was a Clerical officer working in the matrons office doing general clerical work answering phone calls taking messages compiling databases of pt. i will re word the first post bit confused my self now lol i was given an incident form form the matron who aksed me to contact the hospital in question when a Staff nurse told a Taxi driver that a patient that he was going to taken to our hospital was HIV positive its not thye point that he is HIV positive its the fact that the nurse told the Taxi driver and then the taxi driver refused to take the PT until it was explained to him. i worked on the infectious diseases unit. so the reason people were actually in the unit was because of the infections they had. i reported it to the Nursing manager of the ward in question because the day i was working the matrons were both off and had left it to me to speak to the nursing manager to get intouch with our matrons i am sorry if it seemed confusing.

well i would like to say hello to everyone aswell!!!:):)

hi my first post!!! i am just starting nursing in Sheffield uk in september i was working in a hospital in the uk as a admin assistnant. i recived an incident form from the nursing manager and it was reported that a PT that had been transfered to the hopsital i was at and had come form another hopital at the other hospital the nurse that booked the Taxi to bring him to my hospital (my department) had told the taxi driver that the PT was coming to our hopital for treatment of his HIV!!!!! I just coundnt believe that she had told him. due to the job i was in i had to phone her hospital and report her to the manager. the taxi driver then refused totake the PT
