The alarming yet unavoidable conclusion of a new report from the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is that corridor care has been normalized to a disturbing degree.
More than two-thirds of nurses reported delivering care in unsuitable settings on a daily basis, highlighting the desperate conditions plagueing A&E departments across the UK.
Nurses described the psychological distress caused by lack of bodily privacy and dignity, emphasizing how patients received life-changing information in unsuitable conditions.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting called corridor care unsafe and cruel, acknowledging the need for significant time to undo the damage to NHS services.
