Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare staff and others who work for the NHS have been working from home (WFH) or shielding due to various health conditions, including pregnancy. While emphasis has been given to the support and wellbeing of those working at the frontline, little is known about the contribution of those who are working remotely. This online survey attempts to throw some light on how these healthcare workers have been contributing to the NHS while WFH, the resources they may or may not have to undertake their remote duties, their perception of whether their contribution is valued at the workplace, and their views on whether the new ways of working would influence the manner in which they would work in the future.
