In the next phase of the project we are looking for people to help us create and refine a set of guidelines to support the mental health of frontline healthcare workers during the remainder of this pandemic and in any future public health emergency.
We are looking for anyone with first-hand experience of healthcare settings during the COVID-19 pandemic i.e. doctors, nurses, HSCPs, HCAs, students etc. You do not have to have participated in the survey to be part of the process at this stage.
If you are interested and would like to find out more please visit flowsproject.eu/guidelines
