Nurses all across the UK are going to have access to a brand-new platform. This is going to be a listening service and it is going to help provide a safe place for staff. It gives them the chance to offload with someone who is able to understand them as well as someone who can give them a listening ear. The charity is called a Nurse Lifeline and it is led by a group of nurses and midwives too. The lifeline is going to launch and it is going to be a 12-month pilot originally. It’s going to follow fellow nurses and it’s also going to help them if they are having a hard time. It’s important to remember that it is also going to help those who work in a nurse agency or even those who are part of a nursing recruitment agency.

Everyone is able to recognise the value in having some kind of space to offload with someone who is able to have such a positive impact on someone’s wellbeing. Of course, almost 50 volunteers have all teamed up to try and take phone calls and this is going to be done between 7pm and 11pm. The calls are going to take place between Monday and Friday as well. The service is open to everyone including support workers as well as healthcare workers. It’s even open to students and friends and family. This is believed to be the very first of its kind too. The idea of the charity essentially stemmed from the fact that the nursing industry is under so much pressure right now and everyone wants to do something about it. Some believe that this is the best way to ensure that this is the one thing they can do to make things easier.
