In this video, Judith acknowledges the significant pressures that all staff are currently working under and provides assurance that steps are being taken to provide help and support, as well as guidance to patients on seeking alternative options to attending emergency departments.
Judith also speaks about the challenges faced in staffing across health and care services, particularly due to staff who have been advised to self-isolate and also staff taking much needed annual leave, and welcomes the new student nurses who will be joining NHS Lanarkshire next week.
Finally, Judith asks that staff look out for each other, take care of each other and are aware of how to access the staff support services that are available.
