Dr Browne speaking to Sky News today about how colleagues have been speaking to DAUK about their concerns about NHS preparedness in the event of an outbreak. Highlighting the need for containment, self-isolation and good hand hygiene she also shines a light on some of the most vulnerable in society, the homeless.
Dr Natalie Ashburner responds to a report from NHS Providers stating that patient safety is at risk due to underfunding of Mental Health Trusts. The report which states that “two thirds of NHS mental health trusts will not receive the funding they need to invest in urgent repairs or upgrade their facilities” goes on to say that “many are still being cared for in inappropriate dormitory-style wards.”
DAUK were delighted to be asked to be filmed for a new documentary for The Canary on how NHS cuts and creeping privatisation has affected the NHS and it’s staff. Interviewed alongside other healthcare staff and campaigners Dr Yaso Browne speaks about the reality of working in today’s NHS. She explores the impact skeleton staffing on waiting times and patient safety, as well as discussing the impact of under-resourcing on doctors and healthcare professionals.
