7 hours ago I’m an A&E nurse – and in my hospital right now, we can’t give patients the dignified care they need | Susie

Injured people are being seen in viewing rooms for dead bodies. I love my job, but I don’t know how much longer I can copeSusie (not her real name) is a senior nurse in an A&E ward at a London hospitalA&E nurses thrive in a crisis. That’s why my colleagues and I came into the profession – to do the best for our patients in their moment of need, even in the most chaotic of circumstances. But the pressure is currently overwhelming. This winter, a bad but by no means unprecedented flu season has put immense strain on already struggling hospitals around the UK. Some patients are waiting days to be seen, with trusts using every inch of space to look after patients in corridors, physio rooms and even store cupboards, often without access to vital lifesaving equipment such as oxygen.In the London hospital I work in, patients brought in on trolleys are often left for hours in an indoor ambulance bay with an automatic sliding door that opens on to the elements. While they wait for a ...

4 hours ago Mother Father Sister Brother Frank review – frantic night of murder, mayhem and family bonding

This tale of nice ordinary folk doing bad things is a cartoonishly grisly comedy with a hint of Fargo, though without the off-kilter humourThe family that eats together stays together, they say. But the proverb will have to be tweaked for director Caden Douglas’s cartoonishly grisly comedy, in which a family’s regular Sunday dinner ends with the neighbour’s dog running around the back garden with a severed human arm clamped between its teeth. You could describe Mother Father Sister Brother Frank as Fargo-esque, in the sense that it’s a tale of nice ordinary folks doing bad stuff while snow falls serenely around them – though in truth it is less flavoursome and the humour is more obvious, not so deliciously off-kilter.It is lunchtime at the Jennings’ house, where mom Joy (Mindy Cohn) is a picture of homely friendliness.

Slower than the tram, the bus isn’t a bad ride, curving up the ring road lined with 20th-century apartment blocks in edible colours: lemon, toffee, olive, custard, salmon, milk chocolate, cream, Smurf ice-cream blue Conveniently, the bus stops right next to the market, which is known by the name of the square it fills: San Giovanni di Dio. There are big plans to redesign it completely, but for now this busy market remains a Tetris-like arrangement of iron boxes – a scheme rolled out in the late 1950s as part of Rome’s preparation for the 1960 Olympics, in which previously open markets were tidied up and vendors allocated boxes with rolling shutters that provided both storage and a stall.There must be 75 stalls of ...
