The RoMHS team is pleased to announce that the Retention of Mental Health Staff study has been extended. We are continuing our partnership with the Health Foundation for an additional year. This extra time will allow us to interview clinical support staff in roles such as healthcare assistant and support worker in adult mental health settings
Clinical support staff provide a large proportion of hands-on patient care but are often excluded from discussions around staffing. We will be investigating the experiences of this neglected staff group and discovering what is important to them when it comes to intention to leave and how the NHS can retain this group of valuable and experienced staff.
