Harsh Realities

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The second programme in the series that looks at the difficult choices health-care professionals make. Niall Dickson and guests discuss how hospitals and the medical professions deal with adverse incidents - such as who is to blame when the death rate following certain operations is very high or nurses are found guilty of abusing elderly patients - and if it is always the doctors and nurses who should be held responsible when things go wrong.
