Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Occupational Health
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Staff sickness absenteeism and presenteeism significantly impact the NHS, patient outcomes, and have been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Mental, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular health issues are primary drivers of staff ill health.
  • A feasibility study was designed to inform a definitive trial on a health screening clinic's effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of a staff health screening clinic in reducing absenteeism and presenteeism.
  • To gather data informing the design of a definitive randomized controlled trial.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the intervention.

Main Methods:

  • An individually randomized controlled pilot trial comparing a nurse-led health screening clinic with usual care.
  • Assessments included musculoskeletal, mental, and cardiovascular health.
  • Qualitative process evaluation through interviews with staff and service providers.

Main Results:

  • Recruitment rate was 8.3%, lower than anticipated (red criteria).
  • 48.3% of randomized participants were eligible for referral (green criteria).
  • 31.6% of eligible participants intended to attend referrals (amber criteria); COVID-19 impacted delivery and follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • A significant clinical need for the staff health screening clinic was identified.
  • The Trial Oversight Committee recommended proceeding with a full-scale trial, incorporating modifications for local context and underserved communities.
  • The pilot demonstrated the intervention's potential but highlighted challenges in recruitment and full outcome assessment due to COVID-19 and funding limitations.
