Nurses and Community Workers Go into Overdrive to Combat Harsh End to UK Winter


As parts of UK remain snow clad with flights being cancelled and highways being shut off, there’s no rest for the nurses. Nurses and health workers battled through the snow to get to their work places and keep UK’s Health Infrastructure up and running. Many nurses stayed overnight in their hospitals and surgeries so that they could attend their following shifts and the patients did not have to suffer any hardships due to the adverse weather conditions. In an interview with a major media network a Paediatric Nurse who stayed over at her hospital stated that she had suffered so badly to reach work that she had to resort to social media to ask people with suitable vehicles to help her reach her hospital. Some NHS staff even walked hours in the snow to get to and from their workplaces. NHS were quick to express their gratitude to Dr Glen Allaway, a Devon based General Practitioner, who had spent two consecutive nights caught up in his Health Care centre so that he could be there for his patients.
Several villagers had stepped up to help Community Health Care professionals to reach villages that were completely cut off due to the snow.
Community outreach workers could be seen in the wee hours of the morning trying to help the homeless who would suffer most due to the brutal end to this winter. 
Community Nursing 2018 would like to express its gratitude to all healthcare professionals who took great perils to serve us even in such harsh weather conditions.
