Space is an issue in the UK

Sounds like some less-than-ideal conditions being described:

One GP wrote: “We all hot-desk… on Friday we used the staff common room for flu vaccinations.”

Another said: “No clinician has their own room. I have had to move desks up to five times in a two-hour period.”

And one practice reported: “There are days when there are not enough rooms to allow all the doctors to consult. The extra doctor sits in the kitchen/typing room and works through mail.”
