A nurse with staying power
Article Abstract:
Foreign nurses sometimes face discrimination and the threat of deportation when returning to the UK from visits to their home countries, due to immigration officials failing to correctly act on laws which govern such students. Zimbabwean-borning nursing student Tarisai Nyanzunda underwent interrogation and detention by UK immigration officials who believed he had entered the country illegally, despite having papers which proved he was a full time student at Greenwich University in London. Nyanzunda was eventually allowed to stay through the intervention of the nurses union.

The urbane Fox
Article Abstract:
Liam Fox, a former general practitioner, is the Conservative's new shadow health secretary. He says he wants to regard the National Health Service as a complete system rather than a number of special interest groups. While there are not expected to be major disagreements between his philosophy and that of his predecessor Anne Widdecombe, there will be a difference of emphasis and his priorities include avoiding so-called postcode rationing and shortening hospital waiting lists.
