An NHS doctor has warned that the heatwave and the surge in cases of Covid-19 in England are resulting in a “nightmare” for health workers.

Dr Claire Bronze, 38, who is an A&E consultant in London, said she is worried about the effect the hot weather will have on patients and staff.

She told the PA news agency: “In some places there are people waiting in A&E for up to two days at a time for a bed in the hospital.

There are ambulances queuing to get in; we’ve seen a lot of Covid cases again, and then there’s the heat. “There’s all these things happening that are just a bit of a nightmare and we’re worried about how it is going to affect patients and staff.” On Friday the Met Office warned that lives could be at risk as it is likely that a record UK temperature could be set early next week.
