Re: Someone is killing hospital patients

Some injectable medications still come in glass ampoules but the generic stuff like saline, water for injections etc is all plastic now. Bogus staff can be a problem in the NHS, there are a few organised gangs who target hospitals to steal belongings and they often have fake IDs on an NHS neck ribbon. We get warnings about bogus doctors by e mail these days but in busy departments, where nobody can get to their e mail, they go unnoticed. Another problem is the amount of Locum docs that the NHS gets. Some Doctors may only work at your hospital for one shift. If they have been hired by your hospital then you have to assume that all the relevant checks have been done.
