More than 600 doctors at Sahlgrenska hospital in Gothenburg have signed a call for demands for an improved working situation. The requirements follows below:
- Stop assuring that patient safety is not at risk.
- Present effective solutions to increase staffing.
- Maintain competence through re-recruitment of key personnel.
- Show a timetable for when all clinics must have 85 percent average occupancy and relocation of patients is prohibited.
Completely reasonable requirements. It is time to increase staffing in emergency healthcare and healthcare in general. Reorganization only works up to a certain limit. After that, increased resources are required. One way to get increased resources is not to burn people out in working life. Mental illness decreases and tax revenues increase. Another way is tax increases. Or earmarked bets.
Do you want to do something for the employees in healthcare? Feel free to get involved in one of our red-green parties. Or maybe you can start a support group on Facebook and help organize a demonstration in support of the healthcare staff?
