NHS staff fatigue factor in patient harm and deserves urgent attention – report The report claims staff are fatigued for a variety of reasons, such as excessive workloads, long shifts, not enough rest time and inadequate breaks.

NHS staff fatigue is a factor in patient harm and deserves urgent attention, warns safety watchdog www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Really pleased to see this HSSIB report published - we've come a long way in the last decade to try to emphasise how much fatigue affects healthcare delivery in the NHS, and how under-recognised this still is

Hopefully this helps encourage further action
