Are you a social worker, social care worker, nurse, midwife or allied health professional (AHP), who is currently employed or self-employed (agency workers), within any area of practice in the UK? We want to understand more about your quality of working life and coping in relation to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
This is the second in a series of three surveys directed towards health and social care workforce and this survey has built on the findings from the first phase to ensure we are asking relevant questions. We are interested in professional quality of working life, social and emotional wellbeing, including burnout and methods of coping to explore how these have changed over the last six months as the Pandemic has progressed.
