A hospital in north London has posted adverts calling for nurses to apply for “corridor care” shifts due to pressure on the NHS exacerbated by the winter crisis. This follows comments from a senior doctor in emergency medicine saying “almost every hospital is treating patients in corridors and car parks.”
We are interested in finding out more about people’s experience of NHS ‘corridor care’ in A&Es in England. Whether you are a patient or health worker, we would like to hear from you. What has your experience been like? How has the winter crisis affected the care you have received or provided? Do you have any concerns?
