HEALTH: 30 new nurses on East Lancs hospital wards
THE wards at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust have been given a boost following the successful recruitment of 30 registered nurses.
The new recruits will add to the trust’s 3,340-strong nursing staff. They will work across all areas and hospitals and will be used to replace bank and agency nurses, fill existing vacancies and help staff additional capacity.
Lynn Wissett, Chief Nurse at the trust, said: “I would like to welcome the new nurses to the trust and congratulate them on becoming newly qualified. They have shown enormous commitment, application and dedication in their studies to pass their final exams and they will be an asset to the trust.”
