Top doctor warns the need for the ad was a ‘frightening and worrying indictment of how bad things have become’
A Sussex hospital has advertised for a "corridor care doctor" as the A&E crisis intensifies. The role is necessary due to corridor care becoming routine, posing health risks, especially for older patients. Professor Katie Urch highlighted systemic issues requiring collective solutions, while Dr. Boyle emphasized the need for more beds and tackling delayed discharges. Statistics show high norovirus cases and bed occupancy, underscoring NHS pressure. Stakeholders urge government action to address this critical issue.
