In the week that sees the end of Osama, the Black Tower is
still struggling with ORSA.
No, ORSA is not Osama’s cousin but is actually the son of AQMAR, an assurance
tool designed to help the SHA accept that the PCTs are on target with
revalidation.
I’ve been reading this week. It’s a bit of a surprise given
how much else there is to do in the rapidly shrinking Black Tower
- but those nice people at GMC are looking for comments. They’ve released a
consultation draft document entitled Good Management Practice: Guidance
for all doctors.
I’m afraid this is a must-read. It’s not long but each page is weighted down by
words that will trap the unwary and punish anyone who tries to take the short
cut through employment law and governance.
I had a pleasant two days at the National Conference of
Medical Directors last week. Very interesting time seeing the world being split
in two.
There are those who think they have a future beyond 2013 and
those who currently work in PCTs. Those who work in PCTs, like me, have roles
which from 1 January will include that of Responsible Officer.
