2: Professionalism or Censorship?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Registered nurse Anthony Johnson joins me to chat about his role as Lead Organiser for campaign group Nurses United and to discuss the line between being professional and being censored in the workplace.
Being a nurse or a midwife is a responsible role which requires compassion, honesty and professionalism. Student nurses and midwives are expected to keep to codes of conduct produced by the Nursing and Midwifery Council and their University during their studies and professionalism forms part of how they are graded during placements
But when does ensuring professionalism become a way of stopping students from raising issues affecting them in the classroom or on placement? Do students on healthcare courses feel less able to enjoy a normal student experience and how can student midwives work together to advocate ourselves during the Coronavirus pandemic?
