Empowering the NHS: Challenges for the pandemic
Empowering the NHS: Challenges for the pandemic
In light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the increased pressure on the National Health Service (NHS), this briefing reflects on the UK’s preparedness for such a pandemic. We ask whether the NHS has been equipped to save lives. Have the Brexit referendum and recent austerity impeded investment in the NHS?
We focus on health workers, analysing the patterns and trends in NHS staffing levels and the role of foreign NHS workers, to understand the role of international migrants in the NHS. We show how migrants’ involvement in the NHS has evolved, and the effects of the June 2016 EU referendum.
This policy briefing provides an overview of the key points from a CPC report. The full findings and supporting data are available at: http://www.cpc.ac.uk/docs/2020_CPC_Report_Empowering_the_NHS.pdf

Abstract
In light of the COVID-19 outbreak and the increased pressure on the National Health Service (NHS), this briefing reflects on the UK’s preparedness for such a pandemic. We ask whether the NHS has been equipped to save lives. Have the Brexit referendum and recent austerity impeded investment in the NHS?
We focus on health workers, analysing the patterns and trends in NHS staffing levels and the role of foreign NHS workers, to understand the role of international migrants in the NHS. We show how migrants’ involvement in the NHS has evolved, and the effects of the June 2016 EU referendum.
This policy briefing provides an overview of the key points from a CPC report. The full findings and supporting data are available at: http://www.cpc.ac.uk/docs/2020_CPC_Report_Empowering_the_NHS.pdf
