NHS ‘crisis point’
Source: Karen
I have nursed on the front line for 30 years and have over last five years witnessed the demise of the NHS: awfully low staff moral due to long, unsociable work hours; lack of resources; unrealistic manager targets; low staff retention/recruitment; dangerous staffing levels daily; constantly threatened by managers to do ever-increasing paperwork to the detriment of our patients care; often staying over hours unpaid to complete it.
Any nurse will tell you how burnt out and fed-up they are – we just want to care at a high standard with the staff and resources to do so. No-one seems to listen or care for the staff. As employers the NHS has lost its duty of care for its employees.
