GMB call on Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust management to re-think plans to open additional beds at Royal Sussex County Hospital until they secure additional nursing staff needed to cover them “Any Trust strategy based on desperation will, our members believe, unfortunately impact negatively on patient safety and care, staff morale, and the overall retention of staff”, say GMB Southern https://www.gmb-southern.org.uk/news/gmb-call-bsuh-rethink-add-beds-until-add-nurse-staff
