      Unfortunately the only realistic way to improve the NHS at present is to fund it better and to find more doctors and nurses to be willing to work within it.

      There would be more of us. There aren’t enough people willing to train to be nurses at the moment so we are short staffed which impacts on patients and staff alike.

      I would like to spend less time doing paperwork and more time seeing patients. If order to achieve that there needs to be more staff and better funding.

      More time to spend on Patients, less paperwork and bureaucracy. We have the skills to help people but not always the time or resources to do it, which is frustrating.
