Subject: Meeting with EIs, FTOs and OAC Chairs
This is only a short report and more details will be given in
Reps Direct.
The Meeting was held yesterday and well attended by over 60
people.
It started with those present listing what was perceived as the
hot issues.
Main points raised were lack of profiles, finance, training, on
call, staff involvement, RRP, partnership, job descriptions,
time off and back fill.
These were amplified with examples given and a response given
by the Best Practice Facilitators from the DOH.
This was followed by Reports from the EI sites on how A4C was
proceeding and an overall Report from our A4C
Organiser/Researcher.
Communications were discussed at length and the development of
the new MSF web site to go live on the 4th August 2003 and how
this will operate were explained.
It was agreed to discuss this at the forthcoming NHSNAC later
this year.
Finally how the EI sites would report back to national,
professional and geographical groups was raised.
Further Meetings of this Group will be held later this year as
the EI develop.
As always I will keep you informed of developments.
