Nurses’ wellbeing has hit crisis point — is there any hope?
In this episode of The Hurdle2Hope® Show, I sit down with Mark Carter, Founder of MACH Health, who brings 22 years of nursing and healthcare experience to the table. Having seen firsthand the physical, emotional, and systemic pressures pushing nurses to breaking point, Mark is on a mission to change the story.
We talk about the alarming stats, the human cost of burnout, and why the future for nurses looks bleak unless we act now. Mark shares how MACH Health — a platform for nurses, about nurses, by nurses — is taking a proactive approach to help nurses prioritise their physical, mental, sleep, and nutritional wellbeing.
This is more than a conversation about self-care — it’s about changing the narrative and prioritising the health and wellbeing of frontline staff.
