Notice Title

Covid Ethnographic Study Health & Social Care Workforce

Notice Description

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted upon our populations in a myriad of ways. Worcestershire Public Health has been integral to the County response to the pandemic. A key part of Public Health is defining and measuring the problem, determining the cause or risk factors for the problem, determining how to prevent or ameliorate the problem, and implementing effective strategies on a larger scale and evaluating the impact. Public Health utilises a wide variety of data and intelligence to assess the health and wellbeing of the population of interest by consolidating evidence, providing insight and highlighting the opportunities for health improvement and prevention. We are commissioning this research to inform the County's recovery phase; it will focus specifically on the impact the Covid-19 outbreak has had on the Health and Social Care workforce of Worcestershire. Based on the findings from our own research and the national evidence base, WCC have identified a need for further research and are commissioning a second ethnographic study on the impact of COVID-19 on our health and social care workforce. We are seeking a compelling narrative to capture the lived experiences of the health and social care workforce following COVID-19 to inform recommendations and for action. We therefore seek tenders from suitable bidding organisations. The Contract will be for six months duration commencing August 2022. All information regarding this opportunity is held in the Service Specification and information on how to apply within the Tender Guidance documents.
