Bring in four-day week to stop exodus of NHS workers, say campaigners

Report calls for 32-hour working week pilot across health service without any reductions in pay

Moving towards a four-day working week across the NHS could help tackle burnout and stem the exodus of exhausted health workers, campaigners argue in a new report.

The 4 Day Week Campaign, which recently oversaw a successful pilot involving more than 60 companies, is now urging public sector employers to experiment with a shorter working week.
