Ross Kemp was recently criticised for wasting hospital resources after he wore PPE [personal protective equipment] to film his documentary Ross Kemp: On The NHS Frontline.
It shows how staff at Milton Keynes University Hospital have coped with the coronavirus outbreak. I actually think it’s acceptable to use a mask if it’s highlighting the pressures on intensive care units and the NHS in general.
When you work in a hospital, you’re used to seeing unwell patients, but for the general public it’s not often seen. Dame Donna Kinnair, the chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, has said if nurses don’t have the correct PPE, they can refuse to treat patients as a “last resort”.
