igboro ti daru. NMA VS JOHESU Season2 to hit market soon. NA ONLY ME WAKA COME FRONT PAGE

The consultancy status is enough for me.




You see I see the people celebrating this news as backward and those badmouthing it as scumbags! Health workers become consultants everywhere in the world regulated by their parent body. Backward doctors and an inept govt is why our healthcare is still shiite!

welcome development, they deserved it when they worked for their carrier development. if they are qualified, they should be called so, consultant in their various fields.

Blame GEJ when the health sector becomes comatose.

FG Got dz right. This is d right timing.
let's see if NMA wil go on strike again. NMA's ball is in the hand of FG now

im just here to read comments...

Nice one,,,,,,,,,,, Remaining CMD

Hmmm.. *modified* I initially didn't want to say nothing but then as expected there are so many people ignorant of how healthcare works/ how it should work.. Other members of the healthcare team have been undermined for too long and they want to do something about it but then the supposed leaders of the healthcare team as usual have issues with it.. First, it was the pharm. D programme that has since been replaced by the B.pharm programme in so many countries but is currently being practised in Nigeria. Pharm. D is designed to make pharmacy practise more clinically oriented requiring an extra year in teaching hospitals for which the deans and other selected professionals went on a retreat abroad and designed a framework for this programme, identified potential co-ordinators for this programme but then when they came back to Nigeria the doctors kicked against it saying pharmacists just wanted to be called doctors. Last time I checked this is still in court.. Now consultancy has been approved for other professions and much dust is being raised by people who don't fully grasp the practise.. Pharmacy is way too multi dimensional to be streamlined in the hospital.. For every specialty in the hospital there are medicines that are used so what exactly is wrong with becoming a specialist in a particular field? The complexities of drugs relating to therapy isn't fully understood by most people and that's the major reason they think this isn't necessary.. Why shouldn't there be residency in oncology, peadiatrics, cardiology and other specialties?.. Who would ensure medication safety and monitor drug therapy especially in patients with multiple drug regimen? An HIV patient in UCH had diarrhoea for close to 4months and had finished so many packets of loperamide prescribed by the doctor. The pharmacists probed and discovered this patient was using aloe vera which is a laxative as a supplement and this was the underlying cause of the patients diarrhoea, after the pharm's advice four days after for the first time in 4months this patient could retain food.. There are so many cases of negligence that had cost patients their life that could have been corrected if other members of the health care team were more involved but then most MD's just want to retain their god complex.. For the people saying consultancy in other fields will cause anarchy and confusion will a programme like this be run and clear boundaries not stated? Will the practise not be regulated by regulatory bodies? The way I see it, its the fear that the incompetence of so many doctors might be revealed.. In saner climes a pharmacist recognises a drug therapy problem and runs this by the MD, they put heads together and ultimately optimise therapy but then because you are a consultant in a field your method or therapeutic regimen should not be questioned when you might be causing more damage to a patient?.. Think about it, a pharmacist spends say 10years in a hospital and stays the same coupled with the routine nature of his job in a hospital while an MD spends the same number of years and would have become an authority in his field.. Isn't this enough reason for the agitation? Pharmacists are saying they want to be more involved and apply what they have been trained for with the sole aim of improving therapeutic outcome but some low-lifes would want to twist that?..

drered:
Hmmm..

Wetin u wan talk?

I wud have suggest dey suspend d strike but, it seems gov't have been using budget as excuse.

I think I'll just go into Private practice and be at peace with myself and my auxillary nurses, lab and pharm technicians. Too much education na imm dey worry these NMA and JOHESU ppl.

Strike everywhere except Boko Haram and politicians

Just like that ?

g

smh dat not d koko.
working without strike is d main thing.
Don't forget the number of people dat dies during ur last strike.
fg give them salary not only consultancy post.

Does it mean that cleaner or ward maid fit dey consult? 9ja- the president is clueless, the people are conFuse, cease fire bokoharam refuse, money is being misused!!!!!!!!!!!! BEWARE OF 2015!!!!

eightsin:
Strike everywhere except Boko Haram and politicians

on point

I wish Pharmacists would just open their heads and pull out from this lowlife marriage called JOHESU!




Okay, we can become consultants, cool story!




Bet why not work on another salary scale amicably with govt rather than threaten strike because of the doctors salary scale? I'm tired meen!



And to the doctors who'll nauseate and vomit when they see this news........ __________/ Have some rest here, I'll be back with ur drugs


Modified: Okay, I got the salary ish wrong. I just feel uncomfortable anytime I see JOHESU threaten strike!

[size=29pt]Good news

Thank God I be auxiliary nurse, I'm now a consultant[/size]

So this dirty nurse neighbour of mine is now a consultant? Consulting what? Kai! Nigerian Health system is now consulting doom! Chai!

just came to read comments

I no read the post, I just de find the biggest likes!

Wow. Truly amazing. I am not expecting everyone to be happy with this news. But if it is too painful to bear, take a cup of wet cement.
Long overdue, by the way. Let's see how it all turns out.

Hmmmmmmm

Let's see hw this will work out. I foresee something bad......!!!!!!!!

This is absurd! WTF? All Health workers (numerous quacks with fake certifications) become Consultants? Is this the direct insults to Doctors and Specialists? This government is soooooooooooooooooooooooo damn CLUELESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Ok Ooº°

I daresay it is ok....the problem now is chain of command issues.

But this should not be the real fight....the real fight is for 30% of the budget to go to health care....and for more teaching hospitals, for the transformation of teaching hospitals to public private systems....which leaves more money for Primary and Secondary health care....and increasing training places.

That is what NMA and JOHESU should be agitating for.

Modified: The real issue is that government may probably say that it cannot afford more salary increases....which is why 30% to health should be the main thing for now.

I don't agree with this o....make una take a rethink o rough....
