This is a summary report from Phase 5 of the Health and Social Care Workforce Study presenting the results from 16th May – 8th July 2022. This report builds upon the findings from the Phase 1 (data collected between May – July 2020), Phase 2 (data collected between November 2020-January 2021) and Phase 3 (data collected between May-July 2021) and Phase 4 (data collected between November 2021-February 2022) to further explore the impact of providing health and social care during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom (UK). The study focuses specifically on the experiences of nurses, midwives, allied health professionals (AHPs), social care workers and social workers. The
Phase 5 survey data collection also involved three focus groups in which we talked with human resource (HR) staff from health and social care, managers and frontline workers (June-July 2022). We used these opportunities to gain further understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their work and home life and impacted on their health and well-being during this most recent phase
of the pandemic.
