ICU nurse: Covid-19 has 'broken staff'
Meryl Jenkins, a senior nurse who manages a team of around 170 staff at four main hospitals run by the Hywel Dda University Health Board in West Wales has told 5 Live about the pressures her colleagues are under.
Describing what it is like on the frontline of an Intensive Care Unit she said: “Over the weekend I was on call and there was nurses in tears, there was doctors in tears, it’s just been hard.â€
Despite everything, Meryl holds onto hope.
“You’ve got to keep hope, I’ve always clung onto that as an intensive care nurse. Never lose hope."
