Good evening, We clapped them every week during lockdown, relied on them heavily throughout the heights of the pandemic and now need them more than ever as we follow the bumpy road to recovery.
Yet the number of nurses and midwives leaving the professions has risen amid a warning more departures could follow without further efforts to tackle the pressures on both occupations brought on by the pandemic.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) said the latest data showed that the overall number of people quitting the register has increased for the most recent period for the first time in four years.
The organisation’s mid-year registration data report showed that a total of 13,945 people left between April and September, compared with 11,020 in the same period last year.
This is a frightening reality as we try and fight our way out of the pandemic, and on top of winter pressures, have to battle the longer term health issues of Covid itself.
We need our health professionals - let’s look after them. | |
