Solve the nursing crisis by transforming your admin

LEARN WHAT NURSES THINK ABOUT THEIR ADMIN WORKLOAD

The news that nurses are overworked should not come as a surprise to anyone in the UK. Reports of growing vacancies and nursing strikes have been regular for years, so SPS and the RCNi (Royal College of Nursing’s Information and Learning subsidiary) decided to investigate the root cause for nurses’ dissatisfaction. 

Between us we ran a survey of 2,800 nurses, asking a range of questions about workloads, job satisfaction and whether respondents saw a future in nursing – our findings were stark. We discovered that 42% of nurses spend more than half their working week on non-clinical admin, and 45% cited workload or admin specifically as their biggest reason for wanting to leave the profession.

Are We on the Brink of a Nursing Crisis?

Find out the impact admin has on nurses’ workloads across the NHS

11 June 2024

“The survey shines a light on a critical issue facing the nursing profession. The amount of non-clinical work is unprecedented, and the NHS can’t afford to lose anymore nurses. With the increased burden on administration it is time that we implemented digital systems that can help nurses work more efficiently. However, we must recognise that technology is a tool that will only achieve these aims if it is developed with nurses, so that it supports their work".

Dawn Dowding, Co-Chair, Digital Nursing Forum, RCN
