ABC News: Tasmanians turn to social media groups to find exposure sites and rapid antigen tests
ABC News article excerpt
There [is] increasing pressure on those working at the state’s stretched testing clinics, according to Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation’s Emily Shepherd.
“[They are] really difficult working environments. They’re working in PPE, they’re not able to take meal breaks and have hydration stops and they’re also saying that they need additional resources and administrative support to support them,” she said.
“Our nursing staff not only are conducting testing, they are running up the line of cars to take details from patients that haven’t made bookings. It is extremely stressful and incredibly fatiguing and it is absolutely unsustainable in its current workforce model.”
