what are the types of patient assignment?
923797
Until now assignment descriptions have been loosely based on old Whitley grades; but hundreds of different role descriptions are used in Trusts across the country. This is unfair and contrary to the principle of equal pay for work of equal value that lies at the heart of Agenda for Change. Our new system of classifying assignments provides national consistency.\n\nOur challenge was to design a system that met the needs of all our partner Trusts while at the same time being simple enough for everyone to understand. We have done this by using the national role profiles that have emerged from the implementation of Agenda for Change in Trusts. Although they may not match exactly the job titles in every Trust we are sure they will be familiar to you.\n\nThe assignment types, their codes and a brief description of each are set out in the table below.\n\n\nAssignment Type  Short Code Description \nCare Support Worker CSW Undertakes personal care duties.

Create a survey that is quick to answer, maybe have your hospital's IT guys host it on the hospital's intranet website.  Get together with some of the hospital's big wigs and get them to talk about your survey, maybe have a big "Nursing Satisfaction Survey Week" or something, and serve like free ice cream in the cafeteria while having a big sign behind the ice cream stand.

I am not sure what you are actually asking.  Are you asking to find the definition to work out whose patient it is?  Whenever we have a patient who "overlaps" different facilities,  responsibilty for the administration is shared but treatment responsibility lies with where the client is actually located.\n\nI think that this should help\nhttp://www.direct.gov.uk/DisabledPeople/HealthAndSupport/YourRightsInHealth/HealthRightsArticles/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4014771&chk=jVhUS1\n\nor this\nhttp://www.dh.gov.uk/PublicationsAndStatistics/Publications/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidanceArticle/fs/en?CONTENT_ID=4133839&chk=RJV7mg

Maybe you could read messages from family and friends to some of the patients. Also it might be fun to interview some of the staff. One tip for a boring guest is to get them off topic. Ask the accountant about the cafeteria food or ask the janitor what's new in the gift shop. If there's a pediatric department, bring in little kids and ask them to sing.
