Each year winter pressures contribute to an already stretched NHS. Illnesses and injuries from trips and falls result in an increased number of frail and vulnerable patients admitted to hospitals. Doctors are inevitably concerned over patient safety with the Royal College of Physicians reporting that in all, 58% of Doctors were “worried” or “very worried” about the ability of their hospital to deliver safe patient care over winter.
With a second Covid-19 spike over winter, it’s anticipated that the NHS is almost certain to endure the most pressurised winter on record and planning for the foreseeable future is unmistakably, highly recommended.
