If you have come through a nurse agency or if you have experience working with a nursing recruitment agency for carers, then you will know how stretched the NHS is right now. It would seem that there are so many care jobs that need to be fulfilled but there are not enough staff to do them. Either way, it would seem that now there have been some new concerns raised about the demands that are being put on staff as well as the pressure that is being faced. Staff are now having to deal with so much and they have a new wave of challenges to anticipate as well. Studies have shown that there are over 6 million patients who are now on the waiting list for things such as routine care.
Stats have also laid bare the amount of backlogs that are happening and the long waiting lists are just not acceptable. Nursing staff are now finding it hard to provide people with the care that they need, and they are now dealing with a depleted workforce. The key to trying to tackle these issues is to try and take action while also making sure that there are new staff being brought on-board.

It’s so important that issues like this are being dealt with but it would seem that the NHS do not have the funds to allocate. This is only going to change if there are more avenues of support offered but the government do not appear to be doing this. Things need to change drastically, and the impact of Brexit is being felt more than before, especially in the nursing sector. Who knows what the future holds but right now it would seem that the NHS is certainly on its knees.
