Summary
The link between nurse staffing levels and patient outcomes has been proven time and again – so why do we have a persistent shortage of nurses?
Is it all due to lack of funding? And do, or should, nurses have a role in calling this out and finding solutions?
These questions are explored in the latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast, which hears from Jane Ball, professor of nursing workforce and policy at the University of Southampton, who has spent 30 years researching nurse staffing issues.
She speaks about the positive impact on patient care of having the right number of nurses who are well-trained and have a good working environment.
