Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Hospital Doctor Retention and Motivation Project: Discussion
Dr. Niamh Humphries:
I am not sure why there was positive feedback, but definitely there were good examples of things that went well during the first wave. It was probably the most positive feedback we have received when interviewing doctors in the health system. Part of that was that non-essential care was cancelled. There were huge dynamic changes in the system. There was some positivity and there are definitely lessons to be learned from the first wave. The main thing is to talk to hospital doctors, find out what those positive examples were and attempt to resource them going forward.
