by British Medical Association.
Publisher: BMA, London : 2021.Description: 15p.Summary: In this report, the BMA states that the Covid-19 pandemic has left the health service running on empty, with staff burnt out, disillusioned, and even considering leaving the NHS as a result of the intense pressures and stress of the past year. The report points out that pushing doctors to ‘get the NHS back to normal’, without giving them the respite and support they need, will not only result in increasingly high absence rates and staff reducing their hours, but also threaten patient care and safety. The BMA sets out a series of recommendations to UK governments to ensure that services resume safely for both staff and patients.Subject(s): workforce | staff shortage | recruitment | staff retention | workforce | occupational health & safety | wellbeing | patient waiting time | workload | views | Covid-19 | future studiesDigital copyAvailability: Online access List(s) this item appears in: Covid-19: health and social care recovery in England [January 2023]
