Patients are dying in the corridors of Britain\u2019s hospitals. Pregnant women are receiving miscarriage treatments in semipublic places. Incontinent patients are cleaned next to vending machines.<\/p>\n

Those are just some of the shocking revelations in a report<\/a> published on Thursday by the Royal College of Nursing, a British nursing union. In the report, nurses described an overcrowding crisis that they said has led to a collapse in care, confidentiality and dignity across the country\u2019s National Health Service.<\/p>\n

\u201cVulnerable people are being stripped of their dignity and nursing staff are being denied access to vital lifesaving equipment,\u201d Nicola Ranger, the general secretary and chief executive of the union, said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The nation\u2019s health care staff had reached a \u201cbreaking point,\u201d she added in the report.<\/p>\n

The 460-page report, which features anonymized testimony from more than 5,400 nurses surveyed from Dec. 18, 2024 to Jan. 11, is the latest mayday from British medical professionals<\/a>. The union granted its members anonymity in order to speak freely, preventing repercussions from employers and protecting patient confidentiality, a spokesman said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
