How Sheeran sparked a war on ward selfies

A HOSPITAL is reviewing its care of ‘high profile’ patients after staff reportedly asked Ed Sheeran to pose for selfies after he was admitted there.

The singer was treated at Ipswich Hospital after he broke his left elbow and right wrist in a bicycle accident last October. The injury forced him to cancel a string of shows.

During his time at the hospital Sheeran, 27, was asked to pose for photos and sign autographs by a number of staff members, according to the BBC.

Ipswich Hospital said a review that looked into ‘confidentiality, privacy of the patient and their loved ones and practical considerations’ started the next month.

A spokesman said its protocols were reviewed every one to three years and its policy for ‘high profile patients’ was due for review in November.
