The Corruption and Crime Commission has found alarming rates of drug abuse and theft by doctors and nurses in hospitals in Western Australia. The state’s corruption watchdog delivered the report early this week. They found when controls were put in place strong painkiller usage fell from 16,00 to 200 within a year. The report also stated that a new alarming work culture of thievery and drug use by staff is on the rise.  Examples include a doctor who stole restricted drugs and drug-administering equipment and then found in a dozy condition and ignoring patients, a nurse stealing from the ICU and found “slumped” in the bathroom, and another nurse stealing and self administrating drugs at a regional hospital. This new culture seems to stem from a sense of entitlement (due to long working hours), loyalty towards colleagues, and a fear of reprisal for reporting other staff members. While new strategies are slowly being implemented Mr. Cook the Labor Health spokesmen has stated,” the government also needed to take note of the pressure facing front-line staff in the health sector.”

Course was a requirement. Could have been condensed slightly.
I attended the 5-day HSR training course. Our trainer, Kevin, was excellent. He covered all the material carefully and efficiently. He got everyone in the goup involved, and found ways to keep everyone engaged.Need some training? See if AlertForce offer a course.

Awesome and easy to understand coarse.
As a resident of Malaysia, I decided to enroll in this course to upskill and enhance my professional capabilities. The training center has exceeded my expectations, offering a high-quality learning environment that is both good and convenient. One of its major advantages is its easy-to-find location, which is particularly beneficial for international students like myself. The center's proximity to Arncliffe station is a significant plus, as the close access to train transportation makes commuting a breeze. This convenient setup allows me to focus on my studies without worrying about logistical challenges.
Terrific service and support. The process was very swift and the team at Alertforce were very attentive to our needs and busy schedule. Thank you immensely for your amazing service.
