NHS Trusts depend on temporary workers to address fluctuating staffing needs due to staff illness, specialist assistance, or increased patient demand. This consistent demand for healthcare professionals across the country ensures that staff banks have shifts available for their bank staff.
Love them or hate them, 12-hour shifts have become standard practice in many NHS trusts and across many ward areas.
