Heroin on the NHS
After successfully trialling a heroin prescription programme for addicts, experts are now calling for a national network of ‘shooting galleries’, funded by the NHS. The evidence for the programme’s effectiveness is overwhelming. Crimes committed by the addicts dropped significantly, and many stopped using street heroin.

Nurses told to stop using 'dearie' and 'love'
Nurses are being told not to call older patients "dearie" or "love" as they are deemed as offensive under new guidelines from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
Nurses have been told to use patients' preferred names and should speak "courteously and respectfully" to ensure dignity in care according to the NMC recommendations.

Margaret Haywood- whistle blower nurse
New figures have shown that the NHS spent £350 million on external management consultants in the last financial year. The RCN obtained these figures after questioning 550 NHS organisations across the UK. Under the Freedom of Information Act, public sector organisations are required by law to respond to such enquiries within 20 working days. However, more than 40% of the organisations questioned by the RCN did not respond within the deadline.
