🔴 Exclusive from @tomjs and @joeduggan1 inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…
@tomjs @joeduggan1 📈🏥 More than 27,000 people voluntarily resigned from the NHS from July to September last year, the highest number on record.

inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…
@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.

inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…
@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.

inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…
@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.

inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…
@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."

inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…
@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."

inews.co.uk/news/health/nh…
@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

Creators of the device say it can provide results comparable to a PCR test.

🔴 Exclusive from @thelastdinsdale

inews.co.uk/news/covid-tes…
🖥️ The testing device is portable and around the size of a desktop computer.

⌛ The entire testing process, from taking the sample to getting the result, takes less than one minute.

✔️ Its creators say it could be approved by the MHRA within weeks.

👅 The Virion Device can detect Covid using a saliva sample taken from under the tongue.

It detects biomarkers within a person's cells to indicate that Covid has begun replicating and has therefore infected the body.
