Show Notes

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen many health and social care services overwhelmed which has led to increased and sustained pressure and stress for health and social care staff. Nurses, midwives, AHPs, social care workers and social workers are on the frontline and have needed to respond to the increased need for reassurance and support for patients, women and their families while dealing with the additional challenge of wearing PPE and workload pressures. Some staff has been redeployed and all have had to quickly adapt to new ways of working including facilitating and managing visiting restrictions. In their personal lives, they have also had to cope with the challenges of changes in home life including home schooling and caring responsibilities. 

We are conducting research to explore the health and wellbeing of nurses, midwives, Allied Healthcare Professional’s (AHPs), social workers, social care workers, in UK during the Pandemic to formulate recommendations for improvements.
