Medical staff are urging people to get their flu jabs amid a huge rise in hospital admissions.
As well as a jump in the number of flu cases, staff are also coping with a rise in Covid cases, increased staff sickness and a shortage of beds.
Matron Nina Oldham, who is based at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, said: "We used to have bays that would be flu bays but, actually, for the whole ward to be flu is quite unusual."We're still seeing Covid patients, RSV patients, we've still got our day-to-day work as well so, with the extra flu, it is just exceptional at the moment.
