Nurses told they don’t have to co-operate with police NHS staff cannot be punished by regulators for refusing to help the police, new guidance says. Fitness-to-practise cases brought against nurses and midwives for refusing to co-operate with police would be challenged under human rights law, according to legal advice that could have implications for all health professions. Safety campaigners said laws must be changed to end a “sickening” anomaly, which could put safety at risk. However, regulators insisted that patients would be protected by their own investigations or NHS disciplinary procedures. thetimes.co.uk/tto/law/article3985627.ece
