Nurses' uniforms have been the subject of ongoing debate in many areas. Following the Ashworth Hospital inquiry, two wards at the hospital piloted the wearing of casual clothes by nurses. Patients and nurses in these wards completed questionnaires to evaluate the effects of the change. The results showed that the patients felt casual clothes helped remove a 'them and us' distinction and enhanced nurse/patient relationships. Nurses found casual clothes to be more comfortable and practical. Although concern was expressed that, without uniform, nurses might not be readily identifiable in an emergency situation, the change to casual clothing was generally viewed positively by both patients and nurses.
护士制服在许多领域一直是持续争论的话题。在阿什沃思医院调查之后，该医院的两个病房试点让护士穿便服。这些病房的患者和护士填写了问卷，以评估这一变化的效果。结果显示，患者认为便服有助于消除“我们”与“他们”的区分，增强护士与患者之间的关系。护士们发现便服更舒适、更实用。尽管有人担心，没有制服的话，在紧急情况下护士可能不容易被辨认出来，但患者和护士总体上对改为穿便服持积极看法。
