In May 1993, while many nurses were gathered in Harrogate for the RCN's annual congress, the verdicts of the trial of enrolled nurse Beverly Allitt were announced. The nursing world found it difficult to believe that while employed on a six-month fixed-term contract on the children's ward at Grantham and Kesteven District General Hospital Ms Allitt had been convicted of murdering four children and injuring nine others. The following February the report of the Allitt inquiry was published. The inquiry team, chaired by Sir Cecil Clothier, had met 35 times, interviewed 94 witnesses in person, received written submissions from a number of interested bodies and reviewed numerous other relevant documents. This paper reviews the inquiry's original recommendations and outlines the actions that have been taken to implement them.
1993年5月，当许多护士聚集在哈罗盖特参加皇家护理学院的年度大会时，注册护士贝弗利·阿利特的审判结果公布了。护理界很难相信，在格兰瑟姆和凯斯蒂文区综合医院儿童病房以六个月定期合同受雇期间，阿利特女士竟被判谋杀四名儿童并致使另外九名儿童受伤。次年2月，阿利特调查委员会的报告发表了。由塞西尔·克洛西尔爵士担任主席的调查小组举行了35次会议，亲自约谈了94名证人，收到了一些相关机构的书面意见，并查阅了大量其他相关文件。本文回顾了该调查最初提出的建议，并概述了为落实这些建议而采取的行动。
