Nurse says striking is the only way to get safe staffing levels and prevent unnecessary deaths 💬 ‘If we don’t make a concrete change to actively recruit and retain more nurses, I can guarantee that the backlog will continue to get worse’
“The NHS has been eroding away underneath my feet for years,” she says. “It’s getting to the point now where it’s normal for people to not have safe levels of staff when they’re at work.
Ms Elliott, who works in London, said: “If I do something wrong, the worst thing that can happen is a child dies. So that is an act of responsibility that me and my colleagues take on, and we understand. “However, what I do worry about is that me and my colleagues are under more and more pressure at work and at home if people are really struggling financially. I do really fear … that means more mistakes will happen, and more avoidable mistakes will happen simply because people are trying to do the work of more people.”
Other nurses said they were living month-to-month and had little option but to make their plight heard through strike action.
