Employee absence is stifling care delivery across the NHS

Critical healthcare metrics that are impacted include treatment waiting times, A&E admission times, and cancelled operations.

What's more, NHS England is looking to recruit 120,000 people, but currently loses the equivalent of 70,000 every year due to absence.
