MancWanderer Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 From what I’ve heard the problem has been so many staff either suffering from Covid or isolating and it’s left them with not enough trained staff to man them. Could be wrong mind. Not quite as easy as substituting with army, etc. The bloke who works for me and does part time A&E nursing said you need trained staff in case patients need intubating, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, we apparently now have more people in hospital with Covid than we did at the height of the first peak in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted December 29, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 29, 2020 They should lift reporting restrictions on hospitals. People need to see how busy they are, see the struggle. Maybe then they’d realise it’s actually happening. The media blackout just distances everyone and I don’t understand it.

Wards I assume? what about the extra capacity created by canceling most ops, out patients appointments , cancer treatments etc. this is where I struggle to get a handle. I saw a letter written by someone portraying to work in an NI hospital a couple of weeks ago. Was very thankful for his health and that financially he had been ok due to his vocation not being affected. Then went onto say they had the painters and joiners etc in to refurb large chunks of the hospital that weren’t being used. Said he was sat on his backside bored.

The Kings Fund explain it very well via a course called The NHS Explained. Unbiased explanation of how the NHS works and where we are.
