Difficulties in recruiting and retaining nurses are at crisis levels with over 1,500 vacancies, a conference has heard.

Managing Director of PCQ Nurse Recruitment Paul Chandler said that the situation around the country was bleak and in the elderly sector alone, there were around 1,000 nursing vacancies.
