How NHS staff handle acute pressure in A&Es

- Next week marks the 70th anniversary of the National Health Service. In Wales. Like in England, the government has come under pressure over the poor performance of parts of the service. The Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board is the largest in Wales. It also has the worst A&E waiting times and has been in special measures for three years. Its hospital in Bangor, Ysbyty Gwynedd, serves 193,000 people, from tourists visting Snowdonia to the many retirees who live in North Wales. In April, we asked one of the doctors, Saleyha Ahsan, to make a series of films about the work of her emergency department. Tonight, she looks at how the department tries to cope with unrelenting demand for patient space.
Nurses the backbone of the Hospital everywhere
life nature thank you for your kind comment, as a nurse I appreciate your kind words
Jo Jo I applaud nurses for the work that they do. Personally, I have worked as a journalist and as a lecturer and teacher, so I understand the demands of those professions, but when I have had occasion to see nurses at work, I am struck by how they perform their duties whilst also showing empathy, support and care... hour after hour. I have met very young nurses and much older ones, and they have special qualities which make them outstanding human beings, in my opinion.
@@JoJo-sc1db what field of nursing?
xkyle privatex Trauma and Orthopaedics
@@JoJo-sc1db awesome 😃😃 i hope to do a&e or geriatrics
My sister works there. So, much proud of her.
Well done to the nurses and doctors under immense pressure. I and the public appreciate your help and helping others. The government is not funding enough and you deserve better treatment for what you do
I must praise the film maker. The whole film's been filmed in such a natural way it's hard not to notice.
Underfunded and overstretched. We all deserve better from the government.
Well then pay ur taxes
@@sc-ju9nc the government are taking the taxes for themselves
It's not a acute pressure anymore, it has become chronic year it has become norm to leave patients in corridors. Thanks you TM.
One of the biggest problems, in my opinion, is also the fact that you can't criticize NHS. Not saying about doctors/nurses/technicians and etc, they are heroes. People blame government (which they should), but do not even think about changing NHS, modernizing it. Brits are too proud of it
Proud of the NHS? Its a complete shambles
All it needs is more funding
Chronic pressure=neglect and pain
Every person forms a link in this chain.
Better communication = better system.
Gwen seems like an angel - what a lovely lady!

trump said recently on his visit to the uk a few weeks back that as far as the nhs is concerned it too is on the line - everything comes on the table he said i believe, if and when a trade deal will also overtake the nhs. needed by nearly everyone, and there is the danger of privatization costing about 5000 pounds per grownup per head if and when its on the way to privatization, which seems to be a medium- to long term plan. in much the same way as water has been privatized in many aspects the same may happen to the nhs sooner or later. the uk being taken over slowly by us private companies, not just for business but also for its influence further afield i.e. the eu.
So?
I believe the privatisation is the only way to better care! But someone must take the risk to tell the truth : NHS is dying!

This is never going to happen it is a day-dream you are believing in lies peddles by Corbyn. Trump just says whatever he wants why would you take anything he says seriously. Boris Johnson is not going to sell the NHS.

If that were true why would the private hospitals already in the UK not be eating up the market share?
We need cri Sis probes and special list equipment for wet market containment area to establish a transcript of the Stats and view a scope of impacts to hold down the numbers of suffering and deal a direct injection of support into the system at the wet market area where rotation is specific to outcomes and we hope to get a hold of the inflated values.
This takes me back to my nursing and carer days! Best wishes to all in our wonderful profession where the sickness rates are too high! Is the senior nurse a Liverpudlian by any chance? I kept telling myself that is not a Welsh accent 😂!
The North Wales accent sounds like Liverpudlian, Manchester or Yorkshire
The night time one?
She was definitely from Liverpool, Im from North Wales and we dont sound like that.
Shifts or work patterns have to fit in for each individual. They also have to work for their employer.
I have chest issues and i went into the hospital at about 7pm and i got took up to the ward at about midnight and after more tests i got a bad at 3am at the point im at now i may have to go back since it has been 4 months
the answer was right infront of them get rid of these medical directors and managers with their pie charts each one gets between £60 to£70k per year. instead of fastracking sick people out of beds, fast track overm payed directors and managers and number crunching analasysts. hospital should filled with on hand staff and beds for sick. not daily board meetings.
As a nurse who has recently moved from the ward to the discharge team, the board meetings are necessary. They provide the opportunity for the senior nursing and medical staff from each department to discuss their bed status and the patients that are going to need an extended stay. This gives every single department in the hospital a clear picture of what is going on elsewhere. It enables the identification of “outlier” patients (ie. admitted into a ward that does not specialise in their needs- eg a gynaecology patient on an elderly care ward) and where they can be triaged to so that they can get the appropriate nursing care. There’s no good doing away with these meetings because then there would be no join up between departments regarding bed space. You need someone to oversee bed status at all times or things would be absolute chaos. You can’t just admit every single patient in A+E and ship them off somewhere with the porters when there’s nobody checking that there’s a bed for them to actually go to.
Elderly care could be funded separately and I believe that if we all pay an elderly care tax of say £10 per month , including people on benefits ( means tested of course), We are all living longer and know that this burden on the NHS is not sustainable.The difficulty would be to make it a one off tax that remains unchanged and is untouchable to conservative governments who like to give tax cuts to their money monster friends or bank bailouts. Homes would not have to be sold for care costs and we could all look towards old age with less fear. Anyway, I'd do it in a heartbeat if I could trust it is done right!! Many countries care for their elderly within their families as a matter of respect. Sadly ,in Britain, we can't or don't do that. Most families have both couples working or just don't want to be carers so I believe that many would be happy to find a solution.!!
What is the point of a target of 100 discharges that is totally unachievable?
Each readmission is counted as a new patient admission. This means the hospital gets money for that patient from the Govt…read about it…🤔
This was 4 years ago
...imagine now.
Your all angels ❤️
I left the NHS 18 months ago. Did 3 years training. 9 years as a staff nurse and 7 years as a charge nurse.
Reason? Feeling unsupported and no longer valued even though I know I did a damn fine job of it. The NHS has retreated into firefighting and only has short term goals.
Leaving was the best thing I ever did for myself but I'm sorry to all you taxpayers who paid for my wasted training. I still had more to offer but couldn't put up with the bullshit any longer.
I now drive a van and couldn't be happier.
Sixteen years is hardly wasted training. Thank you for your service!
Well done for making it that long! Best of luck in your future endeavours
Targets?
What is the answer?
Infrastructure, better overall care, so our hospitals are not overstretched. Better social care. Better organised.
Government healthcare ignores basic economics. This is the inevitable outcome.
Labour did offer an alternative but they were not only against the tories but the bullying establishment mi5 mi6 all dark forces
Yes we all know that MI5 and MI6 are against proper healthcare.
I would have no problem with the elderly passing but the young, or children would be hard. You can see how they become desensitized. Humans have become obsessed with death especially Christians that they are so focused on death they forget life! They forget to live! Bless these healthcare workers.
Singapore has among the best health care system in the world
And?
What's your point?
Answer = I do not know.
Hi
halow
you show me one just one interview like this with American president or Minister of foren affairs. interviewed by russian jurnalist asking provocative questions. one just one
This is about the NHS
What are you on about?
I REALIZE QUEEN ELIZABETH DOESN'T NORMALLY GET INVOLVED WITH SORT OF PROBLEM, MAYBE IT'S TIME.
Why dont i see male nurses
jepoy fern around 7:35 there’s at least one. Hardly a huge sample of people in the film though so lots of things you don’t see 🤷🏻♂️
because there aint too many men who think nursing is a worthy job
You see the bitching in our profession is phenomenal and many men perhaps cannot take it. I was kicked out of my training because of the bitching and for being too professional, which ruffled a few feathers to put it lightly.
@padard No that's not for the same reason lol.
Actually I think it depends where you are (speciality). For example in my A&E 50% of the nurses are male
It will only get better after "Get Brexit Done", bbuuuhahahahahaha!!!!!
Seeing this makes me happy to have wonderful care and hospitals in Australia. Government spending so much on waste
Hi
