The high impact actions for nursing and midwifery 2: fit and well to care.
Each year in the health service in England, 10.3 million working days are lost to sickness absence (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, 2009). This is the equivalent of 4.5% of the current workforce, or 45,000 whole time equivalent nurses. This article, the third in our series on the high impact a actions for nursing and midwifery, looks at how ward managers and team leaders can provide support and information to improve nurses' health and wellbeing.
