Just who actually benefits from restricted visiting hours is not clear

Article Abstract:

The Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust decided to ban the children from visiting their relatives, limited the visiting hours and restricted the number of visitors per bed, as a part of the drive to reduce the infections by norovirus (winter vomiting virus). A consultant nurse, also a mother, expresses her dismay at such a rule, and questions the trend towards restricted visiting hours, as she believes that such a step is unhealthy as infection control is a never ending effort, and the benefit of such a drive is not indicated.

Article Abstract:

The improvement in the legal protection to the whistleblowing to check the malpractices in the healthcare institutes helps the nurse to raise their concern. However, a very low percentage of the nursing staff is willing to practice it due to lack of security at the workplace.

Article Abstract:

The government's policy on the use of mobile phones in certain environments like the NHS hospitals leaves it to the discretion of the individual trusts to devise their own policy for implementation, but still needs further discussion.
