Tackling corridor care
Overcrowding in hospitals is forcing healthcare professionals to provide care in corridors, waiting rooms, and other unsuitable spaces, compromising patient safety, dignity, and clinical effectiveness. A recent Royal College of Physicians (RCP) survey found that 78% of doctors had delivered care in temporary environments in the past month, with 90% reporting compromised patient privacy, 81% facing physical difficulties, and 75% lacking access to vital equipment.
