NHS nurse, 28, on coronavirus duty is 'told to write will before first shift'
Glasgow intensive care nurse Amber Cowan said her and colleagues were advised to prepare their wills as they prepared for their first night shift while "short staffed"
Intensive care staff were advised to prepare their wills before their first shift on a ward treating coronavirus patients, a nurse claims.
Amber Cowan said managers told her and frontline colleagues to ensure they had pensions and wills "sorted" as the deadly pandemic worsens.
The Glasgow-based nurse tweeted a selfie looking exhausted along with the post: "Getting told at 28 to make sure you have your pension and will sorted.
"First night shift in intensive care and we are short staffed."
It comes as medics across the UK have complained about being forced to treat patients without the proper protective equipment.
The British Medical Association has warned doctors and patients will die without adequate PPE due to lack of stock.
The BMA said there is "growing evidence that thousands of GPs and hospital staff are still not being provided with the kit they need to properly protect themselves and their patients", despite Government assurances.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said millions of pieces of PPE have been sent out in recent days and a hotline has been set up so staff can report where there are shortages.
On Thursday, the Department of Health said 24.6 million gloves, 7.5 million face masks and 1.9 million eye protectors have been delivered to the NHS since the start of the crisis.
格拉斯哥地区的护士Amber Cowan推上发了自己疲惫的自拍和一条“我才28岁，就被告诉说把自己养老金和遗嘱的事准备好。第一次在ICU值夜班，我们人完全不够”。
