Royal College of Nursing comments on the UK passing 100,000 deaths from COVID-19
Responding to the UK passing 100,000 deaths from COVID-19, Dame Donna Kinnair, Chief Executive and General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said:
“All those who died in hospital and care homes would have got expert care from nursing staff in their final days and hours.
“Often it will have been nurses who made the tragic calls to families and heard their hearts break on the line.
“Many nurses shed a tear for them as they helped the next person in a similar position and applauded in the corridors when somebody else beat the odds to get off the ventilator and leave intensive care.
“It is with this very fresh in the mind that nursing staff ask the public to keep doing the right thing.”
