title: The high impact actions for nursing and midwifery 2: fit and well to care.
abstract: 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.
