Demographic, occupational factors and pandemic-related stressors associated with heightened mental health difficulties among UK health and social care workers supported by regional Resilience Hubs during the COVID-19 pandemic
The hubs supported health and social care staff with significant mental health difficulties. Outreach and engagement with under-represented groups should be undertaken to address potential barriers to service access. The findings add to the knowledge base on the support needs of the health and social care workforce and the planning of support in response to future crises.
