PrOPEL Hub events coming up in June and July 

The COVID-19 outbreak has highlighted the extent to which society depends upon essential workers, with health and social care workers in particular playing a critical role in pulling us through the crisis. 

Last year people took to the streets to applaud their heroic work.  But what happens now that the clapping has stopped?  What is the aftermath of COVID-19 on the health and social care workers who have spent the last year working under extreme pressure in sometimes dangerous conditions?  What lessons from before and during the pandemic should we take forward into the post-covid era? 

Across June and July, the PrOPEL Hub will be running a series of free events drawing on evidence gathered before and during the pandemic to explore the implications of Covid-19 for employment relations in the Health & Social Care sector across the four UK nations. 

Professor Colin Lindsay from the Department of Work, Employment and Organisations (WEO) is organising the series and chairing a number of the events.  

He and Professor Patricia Findlay – who are Deputy Director and Director of the Scottish Centre for Employment Research (SCER) respectively - will be leading one webinar on June 14 at which they will share insights from more than a decade’s worth of research into partnership working in the NHS and care sector, and they’ll consider the future of partnership working post-Covid19.
