University applications to nursing are down 17% this year. One in three nurses leave degree programmes early. In 2022 there was a 25% increase in nurses leaving … 7,000 compared to 2021 two thirds were under 45yrs… (Roy Lilley, 8th Aug 2023). Catastrophe coming!
Currently with my 92 year old grandmother in ED in a Northern Ireland Hospital. The staff are absolutely run off their feet’s, ambulances are queued from the ambulance bays right out to the main road, patients lined head to toe in corridors. Quotes I’ve heard from staff “this is the state of our NHS”, “worst I’ve seen it in a long time”, “it’s a war zone in there”, “god help anyone who gets sick”. My thoughts with patients and families visibly distressed by these conditions and I absolutely applaud colleagues for the clearly challenging conditions they are working in this evening! #savetheNHS #NOtocorridorcare
