  I did some expert myth-busting this week with a bunch of nurses who are preparing for TUPE from NHS to private/third sector (don't know which until tenders are completed etc). Laid it on the line in a caring sharing kind of way: shape up or ship out, it's a business and you need to deliver the services effectively, to budget, on time, professionally and with a smile. It was done in their interests, as they seem to think the Old Ways will do - unless they wake up and smell the coffee they will find a shock and P45 waiting. And I don't have a problem with that. They were sharing with me how bloody wasteful the NHS has always been (as if I didn't know!!) and telling tales of the Old Days when hideously expensive dressings and treatments were played with by nurses just for fun in the idle moments. No-one stopped them, no-one was accountable, no-one seemed to realise that they were wasting shedloads of our money - as bad as vandalism and graffitti. Just to reassure you, it wasn't just a clobbering exercise - I was also there to help them learn how to upskill and manage themselves better!!
