A leading Nottingham A&E nurse has laid bare the 'relentless' challenges currently facing the NHS, claiming it has been the worst she has seen in 32 years. Lou Davis, a sister in Queen's Medical Centre's emergency department, said the problems staff and patients are contending with are "far, far worse" than she has ever seen in her career.
NHS services across the UK have been experiencing an especially high level of demand in recent weeks. Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH), and the wider Nottinghamshire healthcare system, have been no different as they remain in a 'critical incident'.
NUH said patients should expect long waits at its A&E department, which is dealing with the devastating brunt of the pressure. "At the minute it's awful, it's the worst I've seen it in 32 years and I can't see any end to it," 54-year-old Ms Davis told Nottinghamshire Live.
