Shut that door
Article Abstract:
Controversy surrounding the UK's high-security hospitals at Broadmoor, Ashworth and Rampton has led to many observers expressing doubts about the role of these establishments in the future provision of forensic mental health services. These hospitals have become isolated from mainstream health services, and have often not moved patients into less secure environments when it has become appropriate to do so. They also find it extremely difficult to recruit and retain staff. It would be better to close these hospitals and establish a fully comprehensive forensic service for each region.

More input required
Article Abstract:
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are becoming more available to health care assistants (HCAs). This means that HCAs will be able to undertake more nursing-related roles. Nursing practice could be enhanced with the use of auxiliaries and assistants who have undertaken training linked to NVQs.
