Getting it wrong

Article Abstract:

Proven erroneous advice by health visitors has challenged the validity of their recommendations. Advice to lay babies to sleep on their backs has reduced cot deaths by 60%. However, traditional advice recommended laying babies face down. Health workers regret the unnecessary deaths but maintain they work within the limitations of prevailing knowledge. Health workers evaluate research against a background of their own experience. Advice may change with new research.

Ministering faith

Article Abstract:

US evangelist Morris Cerullo is due to visit Earl's Court, London, in his Mission to London. The Mission is expected to demonstrate 'extraordinary feats of strength,', and although Cerullo denies that he is a faith healer, he believes that he is a vessel through which the power of God can flow. The scepticism surrounding Cerullo's practices is detailed, along with details of individual cases, and a related article on healer Lorraine Ham.

Labour chains

Article Abstract:

Many midwives are concerned about the lack of human rights suffered by pregnant women in prison. The concern arises from the UK prison service's instructions that all inmates being escorted to hospitals or other health services outside prison must be handcuffed. Critics, including midwives, say that pregnant women are not a security risk and should not be restrained.
