Nursing Management (Harrow, London, England : 1994)
|October 7, 2016
Summary
Local employers should determine whether to implement recommendations from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) aimed at eradicating racism. This decision rests with individual organizations to address workplace inequities.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Nursing Practice
- Health Equity
Background:
- Racism in healthcare settings poses a significant barrier to equitable patient care and workforce well-being.
- The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has developed recommendations to combat racism within the nursing profession.
Purpose of the Study:
- To convey the stance of England's chief nursing officer regarding the adoption of RCN anti-racism recommendations.
- To highlight the principle of local employer autonomy in implementing workplace policies.
Main Methods:
- This is a statement of policy and recommendation, not a research study.
- The primary method involves the communication of guidance from a national health officer to regional healthcare bodies.
Main Results:
- The chief nursing officer has indicated that the decision to adopt RCN anti-racism strategies lies with local employers.

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
7.5K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...
