GPs have been warned they need more training in fitting contraceptive implants, the Guardian writes, following mistakes leading to unwanted pregnancies. Scientists have found a new way of delivering Alzheimer's drugs directly to the brain, the Telegraph reports.

The Telegraph writes that hospitals could be required to publish the results of operations carried out by individual surgeons under health secretary Andrew Lansley's health reforms.
