‘Risk of patients dying unnoticed ... is very high’: corridor care crisis spans UK, survey finds

Nurses are at breaking point around the UK as a survey shows nearly seven in 10 have to provide care in overcrowded hospital corridors on a daily basis



The article highlights a dangerous crisis in overcrowded English hospitals where patients are placed in corridors ("corridor care"). This situation creates a high risk of patients dying unnoticed due to inadequate supervision and access to care. The concept is that overcrowded hospitals, with a shortage of beds, force patients to be treated in inappropriate and risky environments, like hallways. This increases the likelihood of negative outcomes, including death, due to compromised care.
