There's a call for Christian ethics to be brought back into the NHS as new reforms are introduced. The health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has announced that student nurses are going to spend a year looking after patients' basic needs before beginning their degree. It's part of a new focus on compassion after hundreds of patients died needlessly because of poor care at Stafford hospital. Steve Fouch is Secretary of Christian Nurses and Midwives.
He gave his reaction on Premier's News Hour.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
