The NHS Clinical Leaders Network has published a call for action to improve the mental health resilience of frontline healthcare staff caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Its report is based on surveys, interviews and action learning sets with clinicians and managers and as well as the call for action, it includes some stark testimonies and a series of suggestions for managers and leaders to improve mental health support in the workplace. 

 

Dr Andy Coley and Suzy Ning of the Clinical Leaders Network describe the findings and the recommended actions.
