The Workforce Wellbeing COVID-19 Recovery project will enable clinical staff to continue to care for those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic struggling with isolation and loneliness.

During and post the pandemic the Hospice has lost nearly 2000 clinical working hours directly attributed to the impact of COVID-19, the majority within the Hospice @Home clinical team.
