NHS Staff Wellbeing: What works, and the case for investment

By:   []

Date: 2022-06 

On June 17th, IPPO are set to launch a report on NHS staff wellbeing and mental health, completed by topic and review specialists from UEA, RAND Europe and UCL.

Speakers include

Dr Kevin Fong, professor of public engagement and innovation in the Department of Science, Technology, Education and Public Policy (STEaPP) at University College London & Consultant Anaesthetist at UCLH

Dr Steve Boorman CBE, director of employee health at consultancy Empactis and author of the landmark 'Boorman' report

Professor Dame Carol Black, Chair of the British Library, the Centre for Ageing Better, and Think Ahead, the Government’s fast-stream training programme for Mental Health Social Workers. She co-chairs NHS England/Improvement’s Expert Advisory Group on Employee Health and Wellbeing

Sandra Barrington, Matron, Critical Care Unit, University Hospital of North Midlands

Professor Steve Morris, RAND Professor of Health Services Research at the University of Cambridge

Rebecca Williams, Associate Research Fellow, UCL

The report will include estimates of the financial cost of poor staff wellbeing to the NHS and a rapid evidence review of how organisational-level changes can impact mental health.

The report makes the case for the need to invest in organisational level interventions that change some aspects of staff jobs, such as changed shift patterns and better leadership styles.

This report comes at a time when NHS staff are experiencing an escalating mental health crisis that has seen hospital staff take more than eight million days off sick in the past five years.

During this event, we will:

Present findings from the report

Hear both from speakers working on the front-line and from experts in the field

Discuss the report and its implications in Q&A session

This rapid evidence review forms part of the work of IPPO, which looks at the negative social effects of the pandemic by bringing together the best available information on responses to COVID-19.

Our previous work has focused on online learning, education, social care workers and basic income. Based and led by UCL by Professor Joanna Chataway, with partners across all devolved nations including Professor Chris Taylor at Cardiff University, Professor Muiris MacCarthaigh at Queen’s University Belfast, and Professor Graeme Roy at University of Glasgow, we connect many universities and research centres, including INGSA the global network of government science advisers and the Blavatnik School at Oxford University.
