Hi Rob,
The library here was set up by the Trust Board, so your first paragraph is irrelevant. Without the support of our main clinical engineering, Respiratory and Anaethetics Support Services , this library would not work. For example, we currently have 700 domiciliary nebuliser patients. Equipment regularly seriviced by us. However, "boys toys" seem to be a problem. What nurses need ( see my comments above about users ) is the ability to do their job properly on a day to day basis.
Not what clinical engineers feel are neccesary)
