Nurses break a picket line to help an injured man
- last year
This is the moment nurses broke a picket line today (Thurs) - to help an injured man.
The striking staff raced to assist a male who collapsed just metres from the Bristol Royal Infirmary main entrance this morning (15/12).
Nurses left the picket line and went to help the man - providing emergency first aid.
The patient was put into the recovery position and was visibly shaking on the ground outside – as temperatures dropped as low as -8 degrees.
Within ten minutes staff working at BRI came out to collect the patient, putting him on a spinal board and lifting him onto a stretcher.
The striking nurses returned to the picket line shortly afterwards.
