Health service facing 'severe' staffing pressures, exacerbated by pandemic - INMO
Reading now: 978
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation is warning that the coronavirus pandemic will exacerbate the "severe" staffing pressure in Ireland's health service.
On the International Day of the Nurse, the INMO is calling for an urgent increase in the number of undergraduate nursing and midwifery places, saying that to provide safe care, staffing levels must be enhanced.
Of the 3,700 nurses and midwives who joined the nursing and midwifery register in Ireland last year, 13% (183) had trained elsewhere in the EU, with nearly half (49%, 1,189) having trained outside of the EU.
The INMO warns that the global pandemic means a likely drop in overseas recruitment, resulting in additional staffing pressures in coming years.
