Nurses are enduring ?unprecedented? levels of stress and ill health as a result of staff cuts and overwork, forcing them to choose between their patients? wellbeing and their own, the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has said.
Ever-increasing demands upon the health service?s resources, combined with a slowdown in funding and frontline job cuts, have put serious strain on the nursing profession, according to an RCN survey.
Pressure on wards is such that 82 per cent of nurses consulted by the RCN reported going to work while sick, because they feared patients would be at risk because of understaffing.
