Cavell Nurses’ Trust supports the Nursing Times Covid-19: Are You OK? campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the potential long-term impact of working through the Covid-19 crisis on nurses’ mental health and wellbeing (and that of other staff and pre-registration students), and to ensure they have access to sources of formal and/or informal support.

As the pandemic resurges, nursing and midwifery staff are being called on again to face Covid-19 on the frontline. Despite this, they will continue to need our help.

The impact of this huge health emergency will be felt by this precious workforce for many months to come.

Throughout the pandemic, Cavell Nurses’ Trust has been financially supporting nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants affected by Covid-19.

Fallout from stressful Covid-19 working conditions, coupled with financial worries at home, mean many staff are not coping. News of companies laying off thousands of staff is worrying and these job losses will impact the households of nursing and midwifery staff too, both in the NHS and independent sector. But they carry on putting their patients first.

The team at Cavell Nurses’ Trust is determined to create meaningful, long term support for our precious healthcare workforce and we’re adapting to make sure we’re here for them.
