Conclusion
Covid-19 has exacerbated existing problems with staff welfare, but also brought some benefits, including higher levels of recognition and different ways of working. While enhanced recognition of the work of health and care staff is welcome, adequate and holistic support for their mental health and wellbeing is of primary importance. That support was not just needed during the waves of covid-19: it will be needed through the recovery as the health and care sector returns to ‘business as usual’.
