Former Chief Prosecutor Nazir Afzal speaks to Nuala McGovern about his independent culture review of the Nursing and Midwifery Council, which is the independent regulator for nurses and midwifes in the UK.

Sir David Warren, Chair of the Council also joins them to respond to the findings of the report.
Women are turning to increasingly risky ways to get weight loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, as online prescribers become more stringent about who they will give them to.

Plus Professor Kamila Hawthorne from the Royal College of GPs explains the dangers of taking unregulated drugs.
