THE NHS is struggling to offer a 24/7 service as “snowflake” young medics refuse to work nights and weekends.
Health bosses also warn job security, regular training and a good pension are not enough to attract recruits.
A shortage of trainees means managers have to cave in to demands for flexible working and sky-high overtime rates or face losing them.
The situation is so bad that it has caused a rift between younger staff and their more experienced colleagues, who are said to have a better work ethic.
NHS figures show there were 107,743 vacancies in England at the end of June, up from 98,475 in March.
A trust chief, who asked to remain anonymous, said it was a “hard act” to meet the younger generation’s expectations.

They added: “What we are seeing is massive intergenerational issues with our workforce as it changes.
“People are wanting huge amounts more in terms of flexibility, variety, options, and they think much more in terms of short-term careers — five-year rather than 20-year horizons.”
Another trust boss added: “We don’t have the luxury of saying it’s 24/7 work or you haven’t got a job, because they’ll go somewhere else.”
The King’s Fund health think tank has previously warned nursing shortages risk becoming a national emergency.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
