Dangerous jobsworths

[摘要] We are concerned with the care of patients of a 52-bed charitable care nursing home in Oxford. Over the last 9 months the home has been in dispute with a regulatory body, the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI, formerly the National Care Standards Commission), over criticisms of our medicines administration system. The home works to the usual model of an NHS hospital in which a patient's Medicines Administration Record (MAR) chart functions as the definitive record of current prescriptions. The MAR is intended, where necessary, to override whatever may have been written on the label of the original medicine container. As in NHS hospitals, all medicines are administered to our patients by professionally qualified nurses.
