Many Covid patients are being treated at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Newcastle, England not yet vaccinated – dan new asked to be injected when they came in, said a senior nurse.

The hospital is treating an unprecedented number of sick people – Covid patients and other conditions. Hospital directors say this may be the start of the toughest winter in healthcare’s 73-year history.

The BBC was in the ER and on the ward on the evening of 2 December and the morning of 3 December, following the doctors and nurses – and meeting some of the patients.

Head Nurse Jenny Cain joined Royal Victoria Hospital 17 years ago as a nurse intern. She has worked as a nurse in charge of the Covid ward during most of the pandemic.
