Sue Ryder recruitment crisis

Thursday, 7 July 2022 07:45

The charity care provider has launched a celebrity-backed campaign to raise awareness of the critical need for more palliative care nurses across the UK

I'm Nick Meir with news that charity care provider Sue Ryder has launched a celebrity-backed campaign to raise awareness of the critical need for more palliative care nurses across the UK. The ‘We are Sue Ryder’ campaign launches with a spoken word poem, by writer Kitty Dimbleby, celebrating the positive impact palliative care nurses can have on patients and their loved ones at end of life. The campaign comes as Sue Ryder announced it is facing the "worst recruitment challenge" in its 65-year long history. Heidi Travis, chief executive of Sue Ryder, said: “We know that palliative care might not be the first choice for those considering a career in nursing, but we want to better inform people of the many benefits and joy that can come when filling someone’s last days with love."
