How do shortages of health science professionals impact workers?

Answer

Many members are already struggling with workloads that have reached dangerous levels.

Members are being forced to choose between compromising patient care and sacrificing their life outside of work. And when they are off work, they worry when there isn’t anyone there to take their place in caring for their patients.

Excessive workload is a serious source of professional and personal stress for members. If it isn’t addressed, we can expect work-related injuries and illnesses to rise, further impacting the quality of care for our patients.
