Yeah but accidentally taking a handover sheet home
Is it though? If the hospital was as short staffed as it was reported to be, agency staff coming and going, people off sick, on annual leave - then she could pretty much be the only consistency if she was working 50+ hour weeks.
That does appear random. Also ignoring allocated tasks/shift allocation and attaching herself to other patients. If I had been the shift coordinator I’d be suspicious firstly because it screams of performance issues/attitude problems where that keeps happening.
I totally agree. It does happen in lots of healthcare situations though. Maybe even more so than the NHS. A staff member should not have a family member as their line manager. Anywhere.
I guess though if it happened regularly for children not allocated to her definitely odd?
Im an adult nurse so might not be relevant but where I work we print off handovers for the whole ward. It enables us to still know about other nurses patients when they go on their break or if we answer the patients buzzers, and means the HCA’s know if people are NBM or what cares they require etc…no idea if it’d be the same in a neonates ward though .
Would they have several at home? How long would they hang on to them? Where would you keep them and why? Over the space of years do you think there’d be quite a few opportunities to get rid of them? Smacks of trophies to me. From most accounts on here when nurses realise they have them they quickly sort it out!
Oh yes absolutely, you get rid of them asap as it’s a sackable offence to take one off hospital grounds or even drop it out of your pocket whilst on your ward, it obviously has very confidential information on it. It’s extremely weird that she kept them for years no doubt about it.
I’m in mental health. We do the same in inpatients. There was the odd occasion where one of us might accidentally take one home, but then you’d bring it back and shred it. It was rare for that to happen too because we’d only print out one or two.
I don’t buy that. A proper in-depth statistical analysis would have been done to highlight percentages of probability. Some one on here put it better than me so I’ll include a screenshot.
The only thing I can link to that is
The European working time directive wouldn’t limit her hours. It just means she can’t be forced to work over those hours but if she agrees to working them then she can.
What is the NHS policy on the EWT directive as it pertains to nurses?The European working time directive wouldn’t limit her hours. It just means she can’t be forced to work over those hours but if she agrees to working them then she can.
Maximum weekly working hours

This also happens on paediatric wards Ive worked on (including PICU).
Not sure I don’t work there anymore. I always though the only exceptions were airline and transport fields. Could be wrong though!
That's what I wonder, if the defence will bring this up with more in-depth statistics. The prosecution were very sensationalist with the claim but as with the note, it may well not be all it seems.
Yes definitely. It’s been 7 years since my degree so I remember duck all now
but you can get the probability of a baby dying at all in NICU, and the probability of it happening under a particular person (should be even across all nurses if random). Think it’s Bayes Theorem? There’ll be way better explanations for it online. I’m sure they’ll be doing some sophisticated stats in the trial.I think you need to sign up to the EWT, if not you can work as many hours as you want. All I know in regards to working limitations is you have to have had 11 hours break between shifts (which doesn’t happen as if you stay late on one shift then have one the next day it’s less than 11 hours lol, I’ve worked 7am-11pm before then been in at 7 next morning, but you do have a responsibility not to work if you feel your quality of care will be affected). I think you have a day off between finishing nights and starting days but not sure if that’s a legal requirement or just my hospital (again that also doesn’t happen).
Is it doing it for the other duplicated or reused words for different babies? If not, then you might just a spurious piece of code that you can’t actually see and what I would do in that case is add the word again and just add an extra letter to differentiate it from other same word links (maybe an s) first off so you know it’s a link to the correct word then take the s off and try again. If it works then you can do it. But, it maybe that bbcode won’t allow duplicated words to links. That said, from a superficial glance it looks like it works with other duplicated words. So, it is likely to be some code you can’t see contaminating your link and the best fix for that is to start that link again.
