Smoking In Military Populations, VA Medical Centers: DOD, VA, Congress Should Take Stronger Steps Toward Eliminating Tobacco Use
Because tobacco use impairs military readiness, harms the health of soldiers and veterans, and imposes a substantial financial burden on the departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, these agencies should implement a comprehensive strategy to achieve the Defense Department"s stated goal of a tobacco-free military, says a new report from the Institute of Medicine. DOD should gradually phase in a ban on tobacco use in the military, starting at military academies and officer training programs and among new recruits, the report says. DOD should also stop selling tobacco products in Army and Air Force commissaries -- Navy and Marine Corps commissaries already do not sell them -- and should stop selling them at a discount in military exchanges and other stores. In addition, Congress should allow VA to establish tobacco-free medical centers.

Admin, Dems Face Challenge In Showing Voters What Reform Means For Them
As health reform proposals emerge from congressional committees, partisan fighting boils and the president wades into the debate with a series of televised addresses, news reports turn to an unanswered question. "What"s in it for me?" asks David Leonhardt, the New York Times business columnist. "On the subject of health care reform, most Americans probably don"t have a good answer to the question.

NMC To Develop Practical Guidelines For Professionals On Whistle-blowing

The NMC has started work to improve its advice and information on whistle-blowing for nurses and midwives. Representatives from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), UNISON, Unite/CPHVA and Public Concern at Work, met with the NMC yesterday to discuss how anxieties about future career prospects, upsetting workmates and management and breaching their Code of professional conduct, can sometimes discourage nurses and midwives from reporting concerns. Clearer signposts to existing advice and information on whistle-blowing were strongly recommended along with the need to raise awareness amongst nurses, midwives and their employers about existing safeguards for whistleblowers and the responsibilities of employers contained within the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. Commenting on the meeting, Christina McKenzie, NMC Head of Midwifery, said: "We are grateful to our colleagues for this first opportunity to exchange information experience and expertise on this topic. As a result of this meeting, we will develop information for nurses and midwives setting out the options for escalating concerns appropriately, in a way that is safe for patients and the public, and in a way that will not bring them into conflict with their Code." There was also consensus about the need to involve other stakeholders including patient"s groups and employers of nurses and midwives across the NHS, independent and voluntary sectors. Christina added: "We are addressing the matter with urgency but we are mindful of the need for proper, considered engagement with key stakeholders. Regulatory activity in this area will require responsible action by all the partners and this will need to be explored in depth in order to achieve all our goals." Nursing & Midwifery Council
