Spelling it out

Article Abstract:

Guidance for HIV-infected health professionals may be updated and reissued. Current guidance is available in publications by the United Kingdom Central Council and United Kingdom health department experts. Nurses should confirm suspected infection through tests. If positive they should avoid invasive procedures. They need not inform their employer. Experts consider current guidelines adequately protect patients but neglect the risk to nurses from infected patients.

Five newly-elected members to the United Kingdom Central Council (UKCC) in 1993 reflect on their concerns and future role. Representatives have been elected from all fields of health work but they have a common interest in the regulatory function of the UKCC. Two representatives consider the Council should extend its supportive role. Other concerns include nurse education and financial matters.
