A&E nurse Emma Chapman has been repeatedly fined for parking for longer than 12 hours in the staff car park of Queen’s Hospital
According to Emma, who works as a senior sister A&E nurse at Queen’s Hospital, her colleagues are also regularly handed fines.last for a maximum of 12 hours – even though hospital staff often work 13-hour shifts. ‘After a busy shift treating patients in corridors and feeling disheartened by not being able to give the proper care they need, to come out and see a parking ticket on your car feels so demotivating.
‘Obviously, A&E and ITU nurses are not allowed to strike, but we do need higher wages to cover the cost of bills, and I’m even taking up extra shifts to be able to,’ she said. ‘They only allow people to park up to 12 hours, whereas we are working 13-hour shifts, and I can’t just drop everything to move my car because I might be dealing with an emergency,’ she explained.‘We are also trying to retain staff at the moment, especially as we have a lot of agency staff, and if they are getting fined that is not going to help.
