Fatigue Resource Pack
Fatigue is affecting the well-being and safety of healthcare professionals with greater intensity and on a larger scale than ever before. The resource pack is intended for anyone concerned about fatigue in the healthcare sector and who wants to contribute to change in her/his workplace.
It contains tools and recommendations enabling healthcare professionals to protect themselves from excessive fatigue or the risks associated with it, for example by managing their rest better before, during and after their shift.
We have based it on the work carried out since 2015 by a group of pioneering anesthetists in the United Kingdom and adapted it with their help to give it a more general dimension, i.e. applicable to any working environment in the healthcare sector, and to disseminate it across Europe.
We hope our work meets your expectations. We would be delighted to hear from you if it does not, or if you have any suggestions for improvement. You will find our contact details on the last page of the pack.
