The union also wants additional on-the-job training for nurses, which it describes as “clinical facilitation”.The INMO said that it has been in discussions with the Department of Health and the HSE in recent months, but without agreement, and it was now taking this step as a response to the crisis in emergency departments.
“We must now take whatever action is deemed necessary to ensure that we do not endure this level of danger in our workplaces in the coming months and years ahead on a continuous replay mode.” “We have been asking the Government since July to address the intolerable conditions being experienced by our members and by patients and we have been asking for a multiyear plan since 2017, but we have still not received one and we know that if we are going to successfully address the huge challenges facing our healthcare system, you have to plan in advance.”
Nurses/Doctors are at risk in their work. Not just assaults, but error, misjudgement, adapting to an unsafe environment and practices, leading to patient injury and death, resulting in legal cases and possible loss of licence. Stop tolerating it! Why should you accept this risk?
you mean no days off?
Yes all the overcrowding is on the weekend , never during the week 🤔
Maybe let’s try a 7 day service first.
It's the very least they deserve, nobody should be expected to do the work of 3 people because wards are left understaffed. Its dangerous and leaves patients and staff very vulnerable and at risk of things going wrong
