It's a family affair
Article Abstract:
Staff Nurse Emma Hucker's choice to train to become a nurse was not fully supported by her parents who are also nurses. They warned her of the unsocial working hours, poor pay and the high level of responsibility the job entails. Her parents Paul and Linda met when they were working as nurses in a South Wales hospital. Paul now works as a manager in a nursing home whilst Linda is head nurse in another nursing home. Paul previously worked as theatre nurse when his children were young and often brought home videos of operations. Emma's two aunts are also in the nursing profession.

Pre-emptive strike
Article Abstract:
In 1994, the U.K. Department of Health (DoH) undertook a mass measles immunisation programme involving 7 million children. Changes to the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) programme mean that a further 650,000 children will be immunized each year, while an extra 1.3 million children will have to receive a booster MMR. Following criticisms that the DoH has failed in the past to give adequate support to health professionals carrying out vaccination programmes, it will launch a publicity campaign for the MMR2 programme in September 1996.

Visiting team
Article Abstract:
The introduction of a regular visiting medical officer (VMOs) to nursing homes in the Kent region has been beneficial to both patients, staff and the doctors employed to monitor the health of the clients. VMOs are usually local doctors who are employed by the local health authority to make regular visits to a nursing home to make health checks on patients. Older people prefer to see a familiar face when being examined while the doctor gets to know the patient's moods and general well-being.
