Boris Johnson’s intensive care nurse says 'we've had enough'

The nurse who cared for Boris Johnson when he became seriously ill with Covid-19 has said that nurses have “had enough”.

Jenny McGee resigned in 2021, citing the Government’s pay offer and its “lack of respect” for the profession. In a new interview she said nurses feel under “so much pressure… every single shift”.

McGee, who cared for Johnson in intensive care at St Thomas’ Hospital in central London in 2020, said nurses “can’t give the care that we so desperately want to give”. And she said nurses “just want to be paid a fair wage”.
