RIH hoping to increase staffing levels ahead of long weekend
KAMLOOPS — As staffing challenges at Royal Inland Hospital continues to affect patient care for residents in Kamloops, the hospital is preparing for May long weekend by reaching out to other jurisdiction across Interior Health.
In a rare and unprecedented move, Royal Inland has been forced to reach out across Interior Health to ensure staffing at the hospital remain at a serviceable level.
Yesterday, a blanket email went out to staff across the health authority, asking staff to take weekend shifts in Kamloops.
