Following the success of our first round table we are hosting our second in Apri
We know that non represented nurses, midwives and nursing associates are likely to have poorer outcomes at FtP investigations than those who are represented. They are also less likely to engage in the process.
However those joining our group have mixed experience of the representation given by their union and we wish to explore if this is due to unrealistic expectations or something else.
We ask the questions:
1. When joining a union what do nurses, midwives and nursing associates think they wil get if under FtP
2. Is the above expectation realistic
3. How can the gap between the expectation and the reality be bridged.
4. What needs to change?
Panel Members - exploring this area are:
1. Dave Dawes - Chair of council, North West Regional Council member, RCN
2.Paul Golden - Independent Midwife Mediator & Lecturer. Founder, Human Rights Action in Childbirth. Paul is a midwife and neonatal specialist working independently and in a variety of government hospitals in the EU UK NZ Australia Asia etc. Paul trained in law and mediation. He lectures on midwifery, law, human rights in childbirth globally
3.Ian Hynes - CEO Intersol Global: Poor workplace investigations cost careers, livelihoods, and reputations, even lives. After a 30+ year career investigating serious and complex offences, Ian now applies those skills strategically as CEO of Intersol Global, a company training and qualifying, advising and conducting, workplace investigations and investigation meetings. Impartial, thorough, and fair workplace investigation case management sits at the very heart of his ethos
4.Sue Allison: Whistleblower. Sue has supported radiographers under HCPC through the FtP process
5. Mike Travis: Steward and safety rep. Member of RCN trade union committee. Past RCN council member
