#HSRUK25 great plenary on innovative research to improve workforce efficiency and sustainability. We might already know what doesn't work for the workforce but we don't know what are the different needs and we need to find the solutions. Join the workforce research network to step up and co-create!

What a first great day at #HSRUK25 learned a lot about the amazing research that is happening across the UK. So good to see the impact it is having and how the relevant people are involved in everyone's work. Now looking forward to some networking and catching up at the conference dinner ;)

#HSRUK25 great conference opening plenary focusing on impact of health services research on policy. My favourite points so far: 1. Don't go to the new flashy tool, focus on research that matters 2. Speak truth to power 3. Focus on underserved populations 4. It's not linear 5. Be quick at responding

Good things come in pairs! Our new paper shows that eliminating hospital understaffing by hiring more permanent nurses is cost-effective, saving £4,728 per year of healthy life gained per patient. Investing in RNs benefits patients & the economy. qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/qhc/...

A study by our @sotonhsciences.bsky.social researchers shows understaffing among registered nurses increases their chances of going off sick. The study also found a link between long shifts and nurse sickness. Read more👉 brnw.ch/21wSadd @ora-dall.bsky.social
