Supporting the health and the overall wellbeing of NHS staff is going to be integral to the future of the healthcare service going forward. During the pandemic, it would seem that nurse agency providers and nursing recruitment agency providers have been struggling to make sure that they are given the support they need because they have been having a hard time trying to get the appropriate PPE. On top of this, they have also found it hard to react to the tirade of abuse that they have been experiencing online.

By trying to encourage people to get the jab, nurses up and down the country have been subjected to various messages online and this is simply not acceptable. This has led to more and more people saying that the nurses who are working the frontline are given the help they need to work through this time. On top of this, nurses are under pressure because they are simply not being given the help they need regarding their working hours. Some nurses are working far longer than they need to, but all of this could be avoided if they were simply given the support they need. The dedication, the compassion and the skill that the NHS workforce is able to offer has been matched by the can-do spirit of the British people. At the end of the day though, this is not going to last if people do not start getting recognition for their hard work. It’s going to become even more difficult as the NHS approaches the winter months as well, so it is vital to make sure that the nurses are given the help they need from an earlier date. Positive steps and movements are now being taken to ensure that this is the case for everyone.
