'We’re all in the same boat … some of us just have more holes in their boat': a qualitative interview study of primary care staff views of Deep End Cymru

Deep End staff reported high workload, with limited resources and time to manage complex health needs. Most participants found working in Deep End practices rewarding. However, there were concerns about staff burnout, recruitment, and retention of staff. Deep End Cymru is providing hope, validation, and a place to share ideas. Barriers to success were funding and time. Participants want Deep End Cymru to advocate for them, support recruitment, improve services for patients, and support research.
