Join the infection control debate
With hospital wards across the country expected to undergo ‘deep cleans’ over the next year, people are questioning the success of infection control initiatives. In our new debate we ask: what do you think of the government’s record on infection control? Anna Walker, from the Healthcare Commission, argues a change in culture is needed. What do you think?
DO YOU NEED MORE FREEDOM TO DO YOUR JOB?
If public servants are to work as efficiently as possible they have to feel in control of their working lives, they need to have the freedom to do their job the way they think it should be done. So public sector managers need to do things differently, not least putting trust in their staff. Highly qualified, talented people won't stay in the public sector if they feel they are being treated like sheep. So what's your experience? Do you feel your manager values you? Are you a manager who needs to change? Share your opinion with other public servants here.
