Critical thinking exercise 9.4: Mid Staffs public inquiry

As a student nurse or midwife, it is essential that you read and understand the Francis Report (2015) (www.midstaffspubliciquiry.com). Having read it, answer the questions in this short survey....

Respond

Do you think this situation would have been allowed to continue for so long of the patients were young adults, pregnant women or children?

What is it about those client groups that might have made the situation different to that which was experienced by the older patients at Mid-Staffs?
