December 12th, 2022. Frimley Park Hospital in winter with snow, Surrey, England, UK. The NHS is struggling this winter with staff shortages, huge pressure on hospital beds, and the upcoming nurses strikes which are due to start this week. There is a huge backlog of patients waiting for operations and treatment, and high numbers of winter infections such as flu, covid-19 and RSV are expected. A banner reads Think NHS 111 first before attending our emergency department (A&E).
