"Hospital guards are being wired up with RoboCop-style video cameras to crack down on an epidemic of violence.
The shoulder-mounted devices allow them to record yobs and drunks who intimidate and attack NHS staff.
The compact clip-on cameras may be introduced nationwide to counter the worrying surge in violence and abuse that plagues hospitals, particularly accident and emergency departments.

Trials of the kit in several hospitals have been very successful with the number of incidents cut by almost HALF.

There were 86 cases of violence or threats against staff in the 53 days before the cameras were introduced on January 31. The figure since the scheme started has dropped to 49.

The cameras have also been tried out at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and Worcester Royal."

Doormen at a Shropshire nightclub will be kitted out with CCTV body cameras as part of a new project aimed at keeping clubbers safe.

Grant Lees, venue manager of C:21 and Spirit, said: “We want to continue to ensure that our nightclubs lead the way in new technology that helps to enforce our strict door policy.

The initiative is also supported by Shrewsbury Pubwatch manager Richard Goodchild.

He said: “We presented the idea at the last Pubwatch meeting, and I am delighted that both C:21 and Spirit nightclub have been so proactive in installing the system so promptly.

“It really is an excellent device in helping to reduce crime and disorder, and it’s a system that West Mercia Police not only endorse but also make use.”

A dramatic reduction of 60% in the level of verbal abuse was achieved by the SIA Approved Contractor, ISS Mediclean, at the Chelsea & Westminster hospital during an 8 week trial using body worn video equipment to record incidents. The Robocam mobile CCTV units, supplied by Interconnective Limited, are being used extensively by UK Police forces and also being introduced into the private security sector. The trial has demonstrated the equipment to be effective when dealing with acts of violence, aggression and anti social behaviour. ISS Mediclean is currently finalising deployment of the Robocam body cameras throughout its business with the first two sites being the Chelsea & Westminster and Worcester Hospitals.
