If you work as part of a nursing recruitment agency, or if you are seeking care jobs for carers then you will know how much strain the NHS is under right now. If you work for a nurse agency then you should know that nurses and colleagues across a number of emergency care services have been reduced to tears because of their working conditions. A lot of people are now experiencing morale injury and a new report has since been published outlining the distress that emergency departments are facing. The report has come as part of a wider investigation which is now taking place and it talks a lot about patient handover to emergency care. This has raised a lot of concerns about the general health and wellbeing of the staff who work for the NHS. It has been warned that the potential impact of staff burnout could have a huge impact on patient safety. Investigators have since interviewed staff across a huge range of emergency services and this happens to include nurses and urgent services.

Staff are crying and showing extreme emotions. They are doing this while they are describing their working environment and the hard decisions that they face. The emergency department staff have spoken about the challenging decisions that they have had to make regarding patients as they have had to queue ambulances up just so that they can get the help they need. Staff have said that this is one of the most challenging situations that they have ever experienced and that staff are also having to discharge patients to places where they are going to receive an appropriate level of care. Of course, this is all very bad and it just goes to show how much strain the NHS is currently under.
