OVER-TIRED GPs WILL PUT PATIENTS' SAFETY AT RISK - WARNING

Overworked GPs are becoming so tired they could be putting every patient's safety at risk, the head of British general practitioners has warned.

Increasing workloads - both during appointments with patients and after hours at the desk - are becoming so prevalent they could have a "negative and potentially disastrous impact" on doctors' ability to deliver safe and reliable care, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) says.

The body says hard-pressed GPs in England are dealing with a 19% rise in consultations between 2009 and 2014, an extra 61 patients each during that time, and additional demands being placed on their time to carry out administrative functions.

NEW NHS GUIDANCE ON END-OF LIFE TREATMENT AFTER LIVERPOOL CARE PATHWAY WITHDRAWN

Decisions on when patients are reaching the end of their life should be taken by a number of health experts rather than relying on the medical opinion of just one doctor, according to new guidance from health officials.

The draft guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) follow the abolition of the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway - a regime that recommended the withdrawal of treatment, food and water from some sedated patients in their final hours or days - which was phased out last year after a Government-commissioned review found serious failings in how it was being implemented.

Nice said its guidelines address concerns that fluids were being withheld under the pathway, and its recommendations include that people in their last days of life should be encouraged to drink if they wish to and are able to and receive assisted hydration if appropriate, but this be reduced or stopped if there is any sign of harm or no sign of benefit.

STAFF SHORTAGES COST POLICE MILLIONS IN OVERTIME

Police forces are spending more on overtime payments for officers to cover staff shortages, according to new figures.

RULING DUE ON TERRORISTS' 'SEGREGATION'
