Healthcare staff worldwide are quitting due to stress and burnout. But small changes can make a big difference. This is a relevant article about care and stress, specifically within the NHS.
This is an important read and one that might resonate with you, family members, friends, colleagues and any working person for that matter, within or outwith the NHS.
This piece of writing centres around healthcare staff in the NHS – and globally – who are feeling undervalued, overworked and demoralised.
Sadly I am seeing this pattern all the time within the field of education too.
I look forward to your thoughts.
The final part of the article hits the proverbial nail for me - "instead of demotivating staff and haemorrhaging talent, a drive across the NHS is needed to bring joy back to the work. If we want them to care for us, we need to care for them".
All the best,

Rather peculiar that the day I read this post "The Wife" comes home telling me she got "mugged" at work.
ReplyDeleteNot to worry she wasn't mugged in the Glasgow sense of the word haha, it's a new idea her ward is trying to show appreciation, a little recognition for the effort a nurse makes in the HDU ward.
The idea begun buy presenting someone with a mug full of goodies and when the goddies were gone, that person had to pick someone else they thought deserving of a little recognition, fill the mug with some more goddies and pass it on.
I thought that was a nice touch to keep morale high, just an individual looking to make someones day a little more special.
Love this. I’ll make this a post on its own actually, thank you, this can apply to us all I think!
