The last few weeks I’ve been in and out of hospital as a visitor. If you’ve had any recent experience yourself you’ll know that they are busy places. The corridors are a flowing mass of people moving from one point to another. The last time I had any experience was when I was visiting my Dad in hospital in 2016 and even my daily visits then the place seemed much quieter than it does today.
All of our care settings here are understaffed. Hospitals, long term care, just general practitioners too. It’s worse since the pandemic. We have to find ways to bring more people into those care positions which means we are going to have to make them more financially, physically and emotionally attractive. It’s an enormous problem.
