COVID-19 Group Claim: COVID Claims for Healthcare Workers
Why do we pursue COVID claims for healthcare workers?
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the healthcare sector, and the staff working in it, has been emotionally, physically, and professionally damaging.
Survey results collected by the British Medical Association reveal the impact on frontline workers. At least 64% of surveyed staff and students said that, by November 2021, they were suffering from a mental health condition caused or made worse by their work.
Poor health might be expected during a pandemic, but the gravity and longevity of the situation is revealed by the number of frontline doctors with Long COVID now. The BMA also found that around three in five doctors surveyed suffered from post-acute COVID ill health that affected their ability to carry out day-to-day activities.
From increased pressure on wards to staff shortages, the knock-on effects are severe. Healthcare workers who suffered because of their employer’s failure to provide correct PPE should be supported in seeking compensation for contracting COVID-19 at work.
