One in 10 staff are currently off sick at Lynn s hospital which is adding to the challenges of winter and Covid-19.
But bosses have emphasised a wide-range of support measures are in place for Queen Elizabeth Hospital staff to help cope with the intense pressures they are currently facing.
The hospitalâs chief operating officer has described the New Year Bank Holiday weekend as âhugely challengingâ for the Trust.
A video circulated on social media showing high demand at the QEH over the weekend, but bosses have described as a snapshot in time rather than being a constant reality. Picture: Courtney McCurry
