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?
In partnership with the Healthcare People Management Association, PrOPEL has developed a “Spotlight on Health & Social Care” video series which draws on evidence gathered before and during the pandemic to explore the implications of Covid-19 for employment relations in the sector across the 4 UK nations.
