The Nursing and Midwifery Work and Wellbeing Survey published today by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, at their Annual Delegate Conference, reveals that 94% of nurses and midwives consider that work is negatively impacting their psychological wellbeing, while 89% of respondents said they were at least somewhat burnt out because of work. 

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation are holding their Annual Delegate Conference in the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney on 3-5 May.

Marking Workers’ Memorial Day 2023, the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has called for the Health and Safety Authority to be better resourced to enhance the safety of nurses, midwives and all other healthcare workers.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has called for a bespoke plan to tackle overcrowding in Cork City as overcrowding records have been broken in Cork University Hospital (92) and Mercy University Hospital (40) with 132 patients have been admitted to hospital without a bed across both sites.
