New data has revealed district nurses, who deliver complex care in people's homes to help them recover and stay out of hospital, are being forced to work an extra day of unpaid overtime every week to try to meet the relentless demand for their services. Crystal Oldman, chief executive of the Queen's Nursing Institute QNI said District nursing is the backbone of nursing services in the UK. Every village and town will have access to a district nurse. Hospitals already under pressure would be under even greater pressure if people can't be cared for in their own homes and communities. But the pressures we are under mean that without a coherent workforce plan for district nursing the NHS long-term plan will be undeliverable. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
