Nursing Times Launches New Campaign to Support Nurse Mental Health Amid COVID-19 crisis
Nursing Times is launching a new campaign – COVID-19: Are you okay? – to highlight the mental health pressures and needs of nurses during and after the coronavirus pandemic. Concerns around lack of equipment, heightened staff shortages, coping with deployment, the risks posed to staff themselves and their friends and families and the death of colleagues will all take their toll, as will the lockdown while not at work and a range of other factors. Once the outbreak peak has flattened and in time COVID -19 has gone away, the question remains how will life get back to normal, if entirely ever, at both work and at home.
