In our Trust the have been given iPads to use for various ward audits where we need a portable device.... the installed apps have been updated over the months but now the iPads are too old to run them.... the Trusts response is to ask the nursing staff to use their own personal phones to install the apps... guess what all have said no... so the audits have not been done!
Along similar lines in the NHS there seems to be an unofficial trend for clinical staff to use WhatsApp as a way of communicating within their teams... this seems to have superseded emails or even calling an extension, so staff not able or willing to use WhatsApp for work purposes are left feeling alienated.
