[Ed: as HSE bring in new communication rules] HSE staff have been told they can no longer call patients dear, love or boys. Under strict new rules for employees, patients can only be referred to by their first name. The phrase “how are you feeling love?” will soon be a thing of the past in hospitals around the country. New rules are being introduced in HSE facilities as part of a wider overhaul of communication in hospitals. According to the Daily Mail, pet names like dear, love, girls and lads are to be banned on wards with patients only to be referred to by their first name.
