Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 I will study your definitions and feed back but my initial impression is that it will be very useful; for my MSc dissertation which I am now well and truly into!! Do you by any chance have or know where i can find the original CETHV document with the principles of health visiting in? Thanks Ann Re: : Wanless report Dear Senate, Page 69 of the Report gives a 4 line summary of "the role" of HVs and SNs in relation to public health. How can anyone do justice in 4 lines? Well at least SNs & HVs get a mention. There are even two mentions in the Report of the "nursing" contribution to public health (in both cases HVs in reality). The Report is so long my printer went into collapse mode -phew, what a scorcher! Best wishes, Woody.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 The UKCC as it was then, did run off additional copies of the CETHV original Principles document just a few years back. If they have run out, I am sure the CPHVA has loan copies and if all else fails, I have one you can borrow-but no doubt many other HV lecturers do too.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Sorry Ann; I should have replied earlier, but needed to check that I had not lost them in my house move. Yes, Frances is right; the ENB republished 500 copies of the principles document but failed to tell anyone, so none sold. They threw out 450 of them thinking nobody wanted them, but I managed to rescued the last 30 or so from the building as it was closing down. I sold a few last year, to fund reserving a web-domain name for Senate (which is still awaiting a web-literate person to set up) and still have some available. Copies a bargain at their original selling price of £5 each for the same web fund, as its annual rent is coming up for renewal soon!! best wishes Ann Girling wrote: Thanks - I'll try the NMC and come back to you Ann Re: definitions The UKCC as it was then, did run off additional copies of the CETHV original Principles document just a few years back.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 For those RGNs on the list, what does one expect for a salary in a British hospital?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hello - I've been documenting my tests scores and audiograms into Excel, and would like to include definitions for the different tests done for hearing. Does anyone have a good explanation for the following: CNC words (monosyllabic words) AzBio (lower the score the better) BKB-SIN (I think these are harder sentences, introduced recently??) HINT - Hearing in Noise Test Any help at all will be much appreciated. I tried to do a google search on these and came up with nothing. I'd try to do more except that my * & %# computer is giving me grief. Thanks so much for any and all help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
