Please summarise your career over the last 3 years | My last post started at the Evelina children’s hospital in May 2016 as MMT which I left to take a career break in August 2023. |
Have you ever been disciplined, suspended, or are you currently under investigation by an NHS Trust, GPHC or other employer (including other agencies) – if yes, please give details | No |
Why have you chosen to register with The Locum Agency? * | A long standing colleague recommended me to TLA. |
Tell me about a recent occasion when you were under pressure and handled it successfully. - What was the situation? - What actions did you take? - What was the outcome? | A mother very distressed at the dispensary awaiting her child’s discharge medication after an unsatisfactory experience on the ward. |
What is your understanding of the Medicines Act 1968? | It is involved in the system of licensing in the dealing and manufacture of medicines. |
You are asked to prescribe medication which is not clearly documented within the patients notes and medical record. What should you do? | N/A as I am not a prescriber. |
What steps would you take, going forward if you become aware of an incident or complaint, which you were involved or implicated in? | Certainly reflection. Look at what happened, why it may have happened that way and look to see how I can do better or differently next time. |
Please outline your understanding of Clinical Governance. | It is the continuing improvement in quality of care, services and safeguarding to ensure excellence in patient experience. |
Thinking about a recent difficult situation you’ve had with patient’s relatives – How did you handle this and the outcome | While performing a drug history/POD check for a child patient I noticed a medicine mum had been giving differed from the prescription. After clarifying with mum I took the bottle to the ward pharmacist, explained the situation and the correct medication was duly supplied by our pharmacy. |
