Dr Foster – the informatics company – has an ethics committee which holds a number of discussions. Last week I went to a session on the role of nursing in the modern hospital. These take place under Chatham House rules which means I can say what was said but not who said it.
There was much debunking of the idea of a ‘Golden Age’ of nursing which has been talked about as having been between 1950s and the early 1980s – and I will return to that issue later.
