North Cumbria综合护理计划于2026年初在Carlisle的Cumberland医务室新建一个紧急治疗中心,以便通过治疗无生命威胁的病例来减轻对A&E部门的压力。 North Cumbria Integrated Care plans to open a new Urgent Treatment Centre at Carlisle’s Cumberland Infirmary in early 2026 to reduce pressure on the A&E department by treating non-life-threatening cases. 预计该设施将于2025年底完工,其目的是通过将较不紧急的病人与关键病人分开来改善护理。 The facility, expected to be completed by end of 2025, aims to improve care by separating less urgent patients from critical ones. 然而,人员短缺——以前曾导致关闭Keswick UTC——仍然是主要障碍。 However, staffing shortages—previously causing closures at the Keswick UTC—remain a major obstacle. 临时CEO Trudie Davies强调,需要公平薪酬和可持续的员工队伍规划,以确保可靠的业务和公众信心。 Interim CEO Trudie Davies stressed the need for fair pay and sustainable workforce planning to ensure reliable operations and public confidence.
