On BBC website:

 

Calling older patients "dearie" or "love" is set to be ruled out as offensive by new guidelines from the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

 

Nurses should speak "courteously and respectfully" and use patients' preferred names, the NMC recommends.

 

But terms of endearment can be used in some areas if they are part of everyday speech - it may appear unusual if they are omitted, the draft guidance says.

 

 

Would like to see girls calling other girls "babe" banned or punished by a poke in the whiskers

Anyone noticed how 'stand up if you love the saints' isn't sung anymore incase people in wheelchairs get offended.

 

That's because the disabled area has been removed

 

Rightly so, the lazy buggers should climb steps like everyone else
