Some NHS staff are pleading for body cameras to prevent assaults, according to an article on the Telegraph website.
Increasing levels of violence in emergency departments and on hospital wards mean staff needed better protection, NHS staff told the Royal College of Nursing Congress recently.
But some nurses are against the idea, saying cameras would erode patient trust and invade their privacy.
A number of NHS trusts have recently introduced bodycams for security staff. Trials had found a reduction of up to 100 percent in violent incidents and restraints being carried out on patients.
