Midwife with a mission

Article Abstract:

UK midwife and animal rights campaigner Lynn Sawyer is determined to carry on her battle against the use of live animals in vivisection experiments despite the success she has had with the closure of a main cat breeding farm in Oxfordshire. Policing the farm for two years cost Oxfordshire police authority up to 3 million pounds sterling, although Sawyer is adamant she and her colleagues took the only course of action open to them during the protests. Up to 800 cats were saved from vivisection by the closure of Hillgrove Farm.

A date for your diary

Article Abstract:

UK nurses should take great care to renew their UKCC registration every three years. If they fail to do so, then their employer is entitled to dismiss them for breach of contract. The UKCC itself does not penalize nurses who fail to renew their registration. However, if re-registration is more than three months late the nurse must provide three good references, including one from his or her line manager. Some nursing agencies do not allow nurses registered with them to work until they have renewed their registration.

Denied a job for not being British

Article Abstract:

The RCN has over recent months received a considerable number of complaints from UK-trained enrolled nurses of non UK-origins who have been denied a work permit by the UK government. There have been particular problems for nurses from the Indian subcontinent, West Africa and the Caribbean. According to the RCN, this policy is severely misguided at a time when there is an acute shortage of nurses.
