Staff shortages are a myth


If you were to ask me to summarize in one sentence the enormous number of articles about staff shortages in healthcare, I would say:

ā€œStaff shortages seem to be an ā€˜insurmountableā€™ problem and, above all, a problem that is ā€˜far beyond the sphere of influenceā€™ of doctors, nurses and other health care providers.ā€

And yes, I use the word ā€˜seemā€™ deliberately, because almost everyone looks at the ā€œproblemā€ of staff shortages with a particular view. As I made clear in my previous blog, it is this current view, this current way of thinking, that causes people to see staff shortages as ā€œinsurmountableā€ and ā€œfar beyond their own sphere of influenceā€.

Maybe itā€™s your perspective too?
