Yesterday I completed a three day Approved Persons refresher training aimed exclusively at the NHS.
This training is required every three years being quite intense with the need to pass two written exams to keep registraion.one interesting by productive of this course is the opportunity of meeting others from all over the country.
These refresher sessions are small in numbers with only twelve individuals on each session, three years ago of the twelve only one I remember was employed by an organisation outside of the NHS at the time much to the interest of the other eleven.
Three years later of the twelve individuals on my course I was shocked to find only two remain directly employed by the NHS and one of those was awaiting privatisation of their service in the next month
I am one of those who now works for a private organisation
Quite a remarkable change in three years makes me wonder has this been replicated in other areas of social care as today's results give the Tories a very clear mandate to change as they see fit
