Nurses face ban on thongs and cleavage
Last updated at 14:31 19 September 2006
Nurses are being urged by hospital bosses to cover up their cleavage and make sure they don't inadvertently expose their pants to patients.
The new uniform guidelines drawn up by health bosses also place a ban on high heels as they can wake up sleeping patients.
Workers at Southend Hospital in Essex are being asked for their views on the proposals which also include a ban on jewellery other than ear studs and wedding rings.
Doctors have also been told not to wear stethoscopes around their neck for fear of spreading infection around hospitals.
