In the wake of Allitt.
Beverley Allitt will haunt the good name of nursing for a long time to come. The 24-year old nurse, convicted of the murder of four children; and of attempting to murder three others, and harming six more, has given the profession more column inches in the newspapers than years of high quality care could ever do. The tabloids' 'Angel of Death' has entered the annals of nursing history.
