Doctors and nurses 'don't need to show compassion': Academic says staff should be able to carry out daily tasks without being kind to patients
Dr Anna Smajdor claims compassion is 'not a necessary component' of healthcare
She says medics should be able to work without being kind to patients
The standard of NHS care is currently under scrutiny after a series of damning reports
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt has implied such reports are partly down to a lack of compassion among staff

'I'm dying here': Shocking abuse of brain damaged father 'left in urine and faeces' in NHS hospital caught on secret camera

Binny Clarke secretly filmed the appalling treatment her husband Grant endured after he claimed his carers were mistreating him in the hospital
He was left for hours lying in his own urine and had his call bell ripped from his hand in West Kent Neuro-rehabilitation Unit at Sevenoaks Hospital
A nurse cleaned his feeding tube with a pen and staff were making him drink water - despite being strictly instructed to keep him on a nil by mouth diet
A spokesman for Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust said they were 'appalled' at the shocking footage

Girl, 10, dies after series of hospital blunders including expired drugs, lack of senior doctors and an on-call locum who decided to stay at HOME when contacted

Arina Durbazeva was taken to Basildon Hospital after having a fit
At the hospital she started fitting again and doctors were unable to give her the drugs she needed because they were past their use by date
No senior doctors were on the ward and the on-call consultant decided to stay at home when Arina's condition deteriorated and he was called
Arina had a heart attack and stopped breathing for 14 minutes
Was moved to St Mary's Hospital in London but died two days later
The coroner recorded a narrative verdict

Named doctor and nurse for every patient: Hospitals must show where buck stops, says Health Minister

Campaigners complain patients are often bewildered by staff changes
But new proposals by Jeremy Hunt will try to put an end to that
Identifying individual doctors and nurses was once commonplace
Now, the named clinicians will act as a 'champion' for a patient's care
