More than two years of the COVID-19 pandemic have left the health workforce facing a constantly high workload, stress and moral challenges and increasingly also hate and violence especially from those refusing vaccination. These experiences threaten the health and wellbeing of individual healthcare professionals and urgently need greater attention in health policy and pandemic protection and recovery plans. They will cause burn-out and resignations, and will thus reinforce existing health labour market shortages. This webinar provides new empirical data and discusses the need for new approaches to health workforce management that pay greater attention to mental health services and protection from violence. 
Introduction: Protect healthcare workers, invest in mental health and wellbeing
