Guest guest Posted November 21, 2000 Report Share Posted November 21, 2000 Where do I start 1 re QAA Yes Diane Watkins from UWCM is on the benchmarking group I am a critical reader and I found that when I mapped the benchmarking statements against the principles of health visiting there was very little that addressed the 'influence of policies affecting health'. There was very little mention of this principle throughout the benchmarking statement and there was no mention of health visitors influencing policy developments regarding public health initiatives and social exclusion very worrying. It seems to me that if we are going to make a difference we must be highly conversant and skilled in this area and it is after all one of the four principles of health visiting practice. I have not received anything from the QAA recently but we must keep our eye on this. 2 I have also written to my MP and copied the letter to Jane Hutt using Junes excellent letter as a guide. 3 Bounty Packs I totally disagree with the access these people have been given to new mothers and yes I do think it looks like approval . I can't see that the real interest of bounty is public health and I feel quite incensed whenever I think about the amount of advertising and sponsorship that we accept in the health and Education service indecently I think schools are the next target of these people. 4 re the debate it certainly sounds very interesting I await with bated breath to see what happens next. The debate regarding entry requirements for health visiting must come soon nne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
