A SCOTTISH health board has been forced to put out an “urgent call” for help from staff amid “extreme pressure” on its services.
NHS Borders put out the emergency message on its social media on Friday, warning that the severe pressure on its services was being “compounded by higher than normal staff sickness levels due to Covid and flu”.
“We are therefore asking any staff, and particularly those who are not currently rostered to work over the four-day weekend, to consider what extra time, day or night, you would be able to cover,” the health board said.
