My daughter worked for the nhs,she was terribly bullied too

@@jessiegleaves9037 I'm sorry she went through that like I did. Sending love to you both.

@@Fellow557-my9pr I think it's more they don't apply their own trust and NMC values. They don't act even when they are aware of bullying and it often goes from the ground up to the higher echelons. It's a real shame because they lose amazing staff 😢

That's why I left

The NHS is a brutally toxic place, in every area - from clinical practice to non-clinical areas. It's no surprise this starts in the NMC/regulators.

I qualified 2016 lasted 5 years, couldn’t do it

Thank you for being honest.

There is too much bullying. I started a biomedical science degree in September.

Lauren: I have been saying this same thing for so many years. I as a patient have had many horrible experiences with nurses, and even some doctors too, each time I'd been unfortunate enough to have been in hospital. They were absolute callous lunatics!!! And so hateful too. I could never understand why they deliberately took on the job of nursing when they hate people so much. They make no sense.

@@bigcityjunglecatenvisageth1422 True. In my experience nurses are often power mad sadists.

It's not just this sector either. The entire society has become toxic, from decades of societal norms being inverted.

Absolutely agree , those we should trust the most cannot be trusted anymore.

true but discreetly

I believe they should have cameras on them like police!!! I was a victim in summer 2022, I was admitted with pneumonia and shadow on lung!! Thought I was on my last legs! Waited hours to be admitted up to the ward!! Full of elderly vulnerable sick patients! They isolated me, kept me from visitors, said I was contagious!! Very unprofessional nurses kept me from sleep, water and food!! Finally health started to improve, to be able to use the toilet and take shower!! I was appalled at the state of the facilities covered with n faeces, window left open, and toilets that wouldn’t flush! I made complaint, then I was more ostracised by the night staff!! I was witness to seeing my lovely nurse being shouted at and verbally abused! I’m stepped out of my room to confront them and tell them they were bullies!! I got threatened that I would be taken away by security if I didn’t get back in my room!! I signed myself the next day against their judgement, I felt I wouldn’t have lived if I had stayed another night!! They withheld medication, and tried to incite MH!! I am now traumatised and can never trust the so called professionals again!💔🥲🥲🇬🇧 St Helier Hospital!!

Same here the geriatric ward in Whipps X hospital where our mum was ,was absolutely horrific it was like torture chamber elderly patients without visitors got it worse .

Get an advocate through your local authority as she is entitled to one. They will visit her on a monthly basis and provide a report.

My god my heart goes out to your family’s I do no people have been saying this 4years why do good nurses not speak out what was going on ☘️☘️

The nhs is disgraceful!! There’s no care in the care system and the foreign nurses, doctors are the worst they are the rudest I’ve come across a lot of the nhs staff do not care about there work and treat people like a Amazon parcel

Please don't think we are all like that, I love my job, wouldn't hurt or say anything nasty to any of my patients. I'm not a nurse though.

Yes nature, it happened to my friend and her elderly mum. Told to breathe more deeply so the reading could be acceptable, so she could be discharged from A and E, and she had gone in with acute oxygen deficiency.

I'm not surprised. My past interactions with doctors and nurses I thought they were vile.

The problem is that the entire society has been corrupted. It's increasingly hard to find decent people when the entire society is now brought up on toxic values and trash culture.

If your relative cannot fend for themselves in hospital You are their only person of safety.This would include sleeping in a chair near them...as you would for a sick child. The nurses who care are too few and those who don't are negligent to a dangerous degree.

I've seen this happen on a ward where there was nothing but agency staff.

@user-dd37wj03 after some bad experiences my Father had I would be there for the majority of my time off if he was in hospotal. He'd been almost forced by a male hathcare to prove his disability, told to use his bad rather than a bottle, as that was what it was for and staff caused a skin tear by moving him up the bed with sheets not slide sheets, this tunrned into a nasty presure sore that he endured whilst bedriddden and end of life with cancer. Nurses didn't to seem to understand a long standing disability and how the cancer was causing more disabilities. He was scared to be left and towards the end of his life said if he needed to go to hospital he didn't want to go. Thankfully, everything he needed was done with no hospital contact. He did have community nurses coming in and again a mix of competency and attitudes, some to make you scared yourself. Makes me very sad when I think back to that time

@@Ruth695 I may not know you personally but I am so sorry your father and you had such an awful experience.. prolonged and distressing as well as harmful. i have taken some time to reply as it is similar to my partner's who had a physically disabling condition and went to hospital to clear an infection. Nurses said there wasn't a hoist available to get him out of bed for the toilet or commode and he should just use the bed and they'd clean him later. I and his carer were appalled but had no authority to alter this. Over many weeks and two visits to the same ward, he developed pressure wounds and even once home, the lack of proper treatment from community nurses and their neglect meant the healing of these sores was delayed, and even blocked so he developed septicaemia. When a doctor told us there was a chance the infection would be cleared if he went back to the same hospital, my partner refused and died as a result. I have been understanding of the lack of nurses, doctors and hospitsl staff for years and know how pushed for time they are but bad nursing is bad nursing and should be spotted and stopped but instead it just seems to spread like a virus itself. My partner was a happy intellectually sharp and intelligent man who knew what was happening was wrong but neither he nor anyone helping him had the power to correct it. I had similar experiences with careing for my mother many years ealier and as a trained, experienced nurse it was like a living nightmare, slowly unfolding. It may sound old-fashioned but Florence Nightingale would have wiped the floor with many who call themselves nurses now, even if they do have degrees and qualifications. Many, many good wishes that you heal from your experience.

Same experience with my father in law before he died. This Nigerian ‘doctor’ whose pronounciation of English was so poor my spouse could hardly understand him had tried to have conversations with their hard of hearing father and got no where. His answer was to shrug his shoulders and state they didn’t know what was wrong with him as the patient wasn’t communicating. Another elderly, never married lady I know was in hospital for a week and found it was a Nigerian male assistant who was assigned to bathe the ladies. You couldn’t make all this stuff up. I now expect shite from all parts of the NHS and am prepared to meet it head on.

Nurses don't wear belts anymore. That was removed over a decade ago. You sound racist either way.

@@TifBo It's not racist to point out that other countries do not hold the same standards as we do.

You must have been visiting the same hospital I use! Last time I was there,3 times the convulsions caused me to wet myself. No-one would change the sheets or clean me up or help me get comfortable. It was my young daughter who kept count of how many bowls of saliva I filled -8, because I couldn't swallow and insisted they gave me a drip. They totally ignored the blood pressure alarm, they left the cuff on for so long, with the pressure so high the machine was flashing an alarm and all down my arm and hand I had burst blood vessels..my daughter took it off because it was hurting and failed to get a nurse to come and see.. The a&e dept had no slings, crutches,Zimmer frames, and one commode for all the patients. No-one washed anything, they used hand gels and the beds were given a cursory spray with tissue and new sheets put over the visible dirt. If you went back with a forensic team I cannot imagine what you'd find. I am terrified of the next time I have to go. The do nothing to help,threaten me with death if I discharge myself, won't let my daughter go home in a taxi & sleep because she's 15, but expect her to look after me. It's horrific. And my daughter watched an Asian nurse who had appeared to have no English, who'd ignored my admitting to incontinence and pleas for help,she watched her typing up her notes about me claiming I'd been very disrespectful to the doctor!!!! I had complained because 9-10 of waiting in a&e I hadn't SEEN a doctor!!! Once nurses start lieing & claiming patients are difficult or abusive they all then feel justified in totally ignoring you..I know because we have a family friend with autism & mental health problems and everywhere she goes they treat her disgustingly.

My father (elderly, frail, blind and very hard of hearing, though mentally still very much "with it") was very badly bulled by the nurses in the hospital where he was being "treated". They left him alone in a side room and declared he wasn't allowed to eat or drink. Our visiting hours were very limited but whenever I was there, the glucose drip he was meant to be on, was ALWAYS empty and I had to continually ask them to replace with a new one. I queried his treatment with a senior nurse but she became aggressive(even though I was very polite and told me humans could survive for over a month without food! I replied that my father was an old, frail man, who was already very underweight and I thought it cruel to treat him like this. The nurse walked away from me. I later saw her drinking coffee, something she wouldn't allow my father to do. Luckily, I was with my husband, but I was extremely distressed by this. We discussed with dad what we should do.( I'd already requested to speak to a doctor but was told none were available). My father then said "Get me out of this slaughter house". They were his last words to me. He wasn't well enough to walk out so I needed to arrange special transport but I had sorted it all out by about 10.30 the next morning. I rang the ward to say we'd be collecting my dad at 11.30 that morning. I could hear the panic in the nurse's voice when I mentioned his name and there was a pause plus I heard someone go into my dad's side room ( his room was near the phone station) . Then there was a lot of whispering in the background. . Eventually a different nurse told me to come in as soon as possible. My mum and I raced over to the hospital, whereupon they informed us that my father had died in the night. They let us see him. He was stone cold and rigor mortis had set in. I believe Dad died in the early hours and no one had checked on him until I rang up the ward mid -morning. I wanted to raise a complaint but my mum was so distraught, she didn't want to. I respected her wishes of course but I will never trust NHS nurses (or doctors) again. In my heart, I know they killed my father.

So sorry for your awful experience when you were at your most vulnerable

Fc u utubr, who the helldo you think you are censoring people’s comments. You too are bullies, I expect you have family members in the “ nursing’ ‘profession’. The truth will out just as either the post odgficr, if you continue to try snd hide it you only make things worse for anyone.. protecting the bullies. What next, condoning murders?

I haven't had that awful experience but I'm in Scotland where 95% of our nurses are still Scottish and all really professional and nice. Seems there is a big problem in England nobody wants to describe.

100% agree. I've had experience of the NHS and private and the difference was huge. I suspect that the NHS now has a work culture where staff can't be reprimanded, there are no senior nurses offering authority, and there are cultural problems with foreign workers (both ways), overwork etc. But the private nurses, who have a direct boss and less work 'protection', were angels by comparison. As for NHS doctors...outright abusive...

Please don’t tarnish all nurses this way. It has appalling that you suffered such a horrible experience but this is NOT the norm, the majority of nurses continue to care with a passion against unbelievably difficult conditions, and should be commended - it’s an extremely challenging job, often carried out with limited resources and support.

Reminds me of my Midwifery Manager( a bully)). Went to S.Africa, all expenses paid, to recruit Midwives.Only 3 were employed! One left and went back after about 2 years, one was totally unsuitable and I often doubted if she was really qualified.She left or was made to leave after a few months.The third was excellent, now married and settled here.Seems like an excuse for a free holiday.

But in general the key issue is the 20,000 avoidable deaths in acute hospitals. I've posted elsewhere with the peer reviewed reports into the numbers.

unsayable but if it is the way into the economy, you ain't going to attract the caring.

Facts

Why don’t you encourage the demographic you want. However they need time be prepared to study for three years, pay £120 annually to the NMC. They’re also required to revalidation every three years. Don’t blame the demographic who are prepared to put the work in, for the one that can’t be bothered.

They likely did make the police aware, but that doesn't mean their employer shouldn't also step in and help keep the alleged perpetrator and victim seperate whilst any investigation happens. Also the burden of proof is often heavily on the victim in all SA cases, if they don't somehow have CCTV and written/audio confession from the perpetrator, the police won't get involved as it takes them a lot of time and resources they don't wish to invest into a single case to investigate - at least by informing an employer, you can make a paper trail that way too and hopefully warn them for if it happens again to another colleague whether at work or not

​@@firefang225whilst everything you've said is true, it is still worth contacting the police for at least an incident log number, so it's in the system

@@nomdeplume1965 The report specifically says that the events (mentioned) occurred outside of work. But it makes no reference at all to police involvement. The OP's point is correct.

That is exactly the problem. As a retired nurse and midwife, I noticed the change in the behaviour of nurses who were degree trained towards the end of my career. They hated doing bedside work and were only interested in the administrative part of the job. The patients were second in their list of priorities. They had a superior air about them because they were degree trained but they lacked basic nursing skills and empathy which is all a patient is looking for in a good nurse. I think nurse training should go back to on the job training with a mentor backed up by a nursing school. That’s how I was trained along with many others who have now retired from the service. The bullying was always a problem unfortunately. I faced many problems with bullying from management and working colleagues alike. My go to was to threaten with legal action and in one case did see a solicitor. I was left alone after that because it was known I would litigate if necessary. So sad to see what the noble profession of nursing has descended to

​@@gwendolinelindsay4647Unfortunately those of us who advocate for the kind of training we had are looked on as resistant to change. Secondly we are deemed to be not understanding of the way millennials think about work.

I gladly gave him permission to report me so that I wouldn't be forced to sign off someone who was not competent. All they want you to do is " please sign my competency off , please sign my competency off" It is sad to see what nursing has come to be about, this was once was a noble career. Not any more.

Won't work as many 'apprenticeships' are now run as degree qualification courses by Universities.

@@gwendolinelindsay4647 There in lies much of the problem, a distant relative was training as a nurse, until the senior nurse lecturer at the University he had to attend saw he was a better bedside nurse than the females on the course, so she marked him down at every turn, being one of the old school believers it's only a female career, he didn't qualify so changed tack and is now a front-line Paramedic. The Universities have much to answer for!

My thoughts exactly!

Conflating bullying & 'wokery' is meaningless.

Unfortunately staff morale is really low, and has been for years. The NHS isn’t a good employer, and staff are horribly overworked, as the NHS is chronically understaffed. It is extremely critical and stressful.

Absolutely, I work in care homes as agency staff. The behaviour is disgusting that I have witnessed. Report it and all that seems to happen is, huge lumps under the carpet.

The term patient dehumanises people. It is 'us and them' but also a power imbalance. In the public sector, people get paid the same regardless of how many customers they serve and they are not concerned with customer satisfaction, as they know that customers cannot take their custom elsewhere. How many people who treat animals and vehicles (both private sector) treat customers with the contempt that those who work in the NHS do?

@@eleanorwalmsley635 I visited Philippines where the elderly are the centre of the family. All the children & grandchildren run to play & visit with an elderly grandparent with much love. So different to our Western culture, although that doesn't stop the vile abuse of sick people.

True, the last time someone blew the whistle on the bullying at the NMC it was swept under the carpet. They have a lot to answer for, but then so does Nursing as a profession.

I can quite believe it sadly. I was close to the end of my adult nurse training when I whistleblowed at the local NHS Trust that I was placed in and I was quite literally on my backside very shortly afterwards. I had asked for another placement because of two of the so-called “Mentors” who had never competed their own course to be a Mentor; and I was not only refused a different placement but was also railroaded out by a “higher up”. By that point, I had been working in the NHS for almost 20 years before I decided to do my training, so I thought I knew what I was in for…but I was obviously so wrong on that. In comparison, another student on the same course, actually physically assaulted an elderly patient and they weren’t even asked about the incident; and 3 different students were using another (previous, and then qualified) student’s dissertation as a basically cut and paste of their own. I don’t know if the first student was eventually kicked out but I do know that the other 3 were allowed to graduate, despite it being well known, and even the student nurse who was the actual author of this dissertation, had also complained to the higher ups about the plagiarism of their dissertation…and then they got into trouble over it.

I know !!!! Bang your pans quick 😂

@@KatinigPragmaticDogma you've hit the nail on the head ,as a student life is made soo hard for us but for international nurses it's easy to practice and they supervise us and give us wrong information.beacuse if this my epad has things that I worked through which are not right

mass import BAME to take up housing needed by natives to start families, then complain about 'fertility rates' when in reality talking about birth rates, then declare we need more BAME imported. Then the jobs 'BAME applicant's only' then complain there are no natives applying and therefore the BAME is the backbone of the NHS. All by design the lot of it started in 1914

You shameless racist

Please. Men are the minority in nursing, yet they comprise around 80 of senior managers and chief executives. I say this as someone who’s been in nursing since the 1980’s.

They managed to kill my grandson. I'm so sorry for your son and daughter in law.

⁠@@sharonrowland9030 Ohh, that’s beyond any adjective I could ever think of. I am truly sorry for the loss of your precious Grandson, and my deepest condolences to your Grandsons parents.

Thank you for saying this 🙏🫂✝️🙏

Absolutely true!

Agree. It started off with obv serious things that really should have been reported to the police but concludes with the newsreader raging at the ⬜️bloke for not being sufficiently committed to DEI of all things. Literally the least serious end of the spectrum.

Agree. The timing (change of government) is interesting, is it not?

​@@nowherepeople3431It's all the radical left think about

Agree 💯

You are wrong. NHS, NMC, and all the blushit unions needed to be sorted out. We don't need too many matron who bully staff. Money wasted sadly. While working at Guy's Hospital, I experienced mistreatment from the deputy head of a particular department as well as other individuals. Despite presenting evidence of this mistreatment and lodging a complaint with the CEO, my concerns were not appropriately addressed. It appears that there is a culture of condoning bullying and harassment at Guy's Hospital that needs to be addressed. There are concerns regarding the influence of the RCN, whose union representative collaborates with the management and overlooks personal grievances. Additionally, there have been issues regarding a negative reference provided by Guy's Hospital, which was rectified by the directorate. It is imperative for the NHS to address issues of bullying and racism starting from the top. Regrettably, based on my experience, I can not recommend pursuing a career in nursing.

I love how she didn't mention that and focused on black nurses only. The amount of unreported racist bullying against white people is huge. There is little recourse for you if you are white.

Sorry to read your comment, there seems a big gulf in nursing now where basic care and delivery of standards is just not there anymore. My father died almost 5 years ago and in hospital just before he was sent to a nursing home for his final days, the nurses especially the staff nurse were unbelievably rude, unhelpful and it was only because I was so upset at the time I didn't lose my temper with them. I saw my dad's personal care was non existent, he was told to defecate in a pad, it was beyond undignified. My dad was dealing with bowel cancer and it was me who showered my dad because no one else would, helped with his other personal cares, my dad had worked from aged 15 and paid all his life into his 70s for his care and what he received was pitiful. I didn't clap for the nurses during COVID, I reflected at how poor a service we get now and sadly can't see it improving. Condolences for your loss 😢
