NEXT PANORAMA - BBC ONE - MONDAY 8.30PM Hello there, BACK IN THE NEWS Three years after Panorama broadcast an undercover report on the treatment of elderly patients on an NHS hospital ward in Brighton, the nurse who blew the whistle has been taken to a disciplinary tribunal. The Nursing and Midwifery Council(NMC) panel have dismissed two charges against Margaret Haywood who helped to secretly film in the Royal County Hospital in Brighton for Panorama: Undercover Nurse. They ruled that there was no evidence she had broken the NHS Trust's whistleblowing policy by raising "serious concerns" in the media. They also found Ms Haywood had no case to answer over claims that she had failed to help colleagues when a patient suffered a seizure on a ward where she was working. The nurse of 20 years had already admitted breaching patient confidentiality in relation to the programme. You can read more about the story on our website and find out about the original report in our archive pages. BABY P UPDATE The General Medical Council have suspended the doctor who failed to spot Baby P's injuries just two days before his death. Dr Sabah al-Zayyat, a locum paediatrician at St Ann's Hospital in London, had been placed under supervision after the GMC put temporary conditions on her registration. These conditions have now resulted in full suspension from practice as the case is investigated further. You can read more about the story on the BBC News website.
