@tomjs@joeduggan1 🚑 @NHSMillion a campaigning website that supports NHS staff said it is receiving a “constant flood” of “disturbing” messages from workers who have spent almost two years working during the pandemic.
@tomjs@joeduggan1 🔴 Almost 7,000 medics left the NHS due to concerns about their work-life balance between July and September last year, the single biggest reason for leaving apart from contracts ending.
@tomjs@joeduggan1 🔴📈 The figure of 27,353 is more than double the number that left during the first wave of the pandemic from April to June 2020 when the pandemic was at its height.
@tomjs@joeduggan1 👨⚕️ Joan Pons Laplana, 46, quit his frontline job as an intensive care nurse last February.
He told i: “I was diagnosed with PTSD in February, 2021. I couldn’t face going back to work.
“It cost me my mental health and my marriage. My life fell to pieces after the second wave."
@tomjs@joeduggan1 👩⚕️ Sarah, an NHS nurse who did not want to share her last name, said ⬇️
"We’ve had a surge in referrals, the work-life balance has disappeared. I’m contracted to work 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday and I’m often working until 10 at night."
@tomjs@joeduggan1 🗣️ Dr Katie Rogerson, a co-founder of @NHSMillion, told i: “Even the students are planning their escape before we even managed to get them into the roles.
“Why? Because no one can work like this. This is as laughable as it is devastating."
@tomjs@joeduggan1@NHSMillion 🏥 From more nurseries in hospitals to help for student nurses, ministers and health chiefs can do so much more to ensure annual winter crises end once and for all

The GP has contacted Home Office officials explaining that in his view the move to the barge would be medically inappropriate
💬 “I feel they are being treated like livestock, only slightly worse, as livestock are prohibited from being transported with active infection”
The GP, who treats over 250 asylum seekers, said he was not consulted by the Home Office on the health of his patients before they received letters notifying them of the move
🔴 The Home Office wouldn't say whether it would proceed with moving someone if infection is detected
