Survey reveals nurse staffing levels to be the biggest barrier to end of life care One in three nurses (30%) said staffing levels are the main barrier to provide quality end of life care, an exclusive survey has revealed. Over half of nurses (52%) who responded to the survey also felt the quality of end of life care for dying people got worse as a result of the ongoing Covid pandemic.
The annual survey, carried out by Nursing Standard and end of life charity Marie Curie, was answered by nearly 600 nurses and other caring staff across the UK who reflected on their experiences of caring for people at the end of their lives.
