Abstract
- The article discusses the Royal College of Nursing's call for unannounced inspections at National Health Service (NHS) organisations in the aftermath of a report released by the organization Dr Foster, showing higher than average mortality rates at 27 NHS trusts. The RCN has stated that unannounced inspections should be triggered by a range of indicators including staff turnover, patient complaints and mortality rates.
