title: Trust in my colleagues has been shaken by mid staffs.
abstract: The Francis report into the failings at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust makes for shocking reading. It is clear that there was a failure of management and nursing involving a culture shift, rather than simply a lack of resources. There was a lack of compassion and of basic nursing responsibilities that had nothing to do with understaffing.
