News UK – Britain, which recently faced a crisis of shortage of truck drivers followed by a shortage of fuel, is now facing a crisis of shortage of nurses.
According to the Guardian on Sunday, British officials are concerned about the growing crisis of labor shortages in the country’s hospitals, and one of the reasons is the challenge of filling the vacancies of tens of thousands of nurses.

The Observer website also reported that due to a shortage of medical staff in the UK, hospital officials in the UK face the challenge of filling nurses’ shifts every week.
