Just went for my flu jab and the nice nurse asked me about getting the Covid jab too. Explained I live with my son who is on immuno suppressants and therefore clinically vulnerable so yes I wanted the Covid jab, but as I am not over 65 thought I wouldn't be eligible this year. No problem said the nurse and changed my details. Got both vaccines. I had phoned NHS Inform who were no help at all. So if you're in a similar position... #COVIDbooster#covidvaccine#nhsscotland#nhsstaff
The NHS in England is not being allowed to recruit new staff
Posted on April 26 2023
The Health Service Journal reported yesterday that:
NHS England has told many trusts and systems they are not allowed to increase their staffing establishment in the next 12 months.
There are at least 10% staff vacancies.
Stress levels amongst those working for the NHS are through the roof.
It is as if the government does not want to sort problems in the NHS.
