Stavanger University Hospital (SUS) is asking retired health professionals and health science students for help.
- In the current situation, we need more hands to work. Especially around Christmas, says Helle Schøyen, director general of Stavanger University Hospital.
- We are asking retirees and others with an education in health sciences to enroll if they are interested in some future vacancies, he says to Stavanger aftenblad .
More and more sick people, many patients with respiratory problems and the RS virus led to the filling of SUS beds in November. Moreover, there is a very high sickness absence among employees.
At the end of November, the hospital decided to switch from green to yellow alert status.
