OBJECTIVE: COVID-19 has caused a global healthcare crisis with increasing number
of people getting infected and dying each day. Different countries have tried to
control its spread by applying the basic principles of social distancing and
testing. Healthcare professionals have been the frontline workers globally with
different opinions regarding the preparation and management of this pandemic. We
aim to get the opinion of healthcare professionals in United Kingdom regarding
their perceptions of preparedness in their workplace and general views of current
pandemic management strategy. METHOD: A questionnaire survey, drafted using
Google Forms, was distributed among healthcare professionals working in the
National Health Service (NHS) across the United Kingdom. The study was kept open
for the first 2 weeks of April 2020. RESULTS: A total of 1007 responses were
obtained with majority of the responses from England (n = 850, 84.40%). There
were 670 (66.53%) responses from doctors and 204 (20.26%) from nurses. Most of
the respondents (95.23%) had direct patient contact in day to day activity. Only
one third of the respondents agreed that they felt supported at their trust and
half of the respondents reported that adequate training was provided to the
frontline staff. Two-thirds of the respondents were of the view that there was
not enough Personal Protective Equipment available while 80% thought that this
pandemic has improved their hand washing practice. Most of the respondents were
in the favour of an earlier lockdown (90%) and testing all the NHS frontline
staff (94%). CONCLUSION: Despite current efforts, it would seem this is not
translating to a sense of security amongst the UK NHS workforce in terms of how
they feel trained and protected. It is vital that healthcare professionals have
adequate support and protection at their workplace and that these aspects be
actively monitored.
