Uniforms making them work for you

Article Abstract:

Nurses often do not have much influence over what they wear at work, although as trusts form their own identities, new uniforms may be introduced. Ideal uniforms allow easy and confortable movement for occupational health workers, and trousers and a tunic are preferable with regard to safety and mobility, and materials should be light and flexible. Shoes should be plain and often synthetic materials are more flexible.

Making sense of...photorefractive keratectomy

Article Abstract:

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a new laser technique which can reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors of the eye, such as myopia. It is available in private hospitals only currently and is used mainly for sports people who are unable to wear contact lenses. Hypermetropia or long sight may also be corrected by the procedure in the near future.
