Overlooked, but not overcome: smaller hospitals and the staff response to the Covid-19 pandemic

Overlooked, but not overcome: smaller hospitals and the staff response to the Covid-19 pandemic How have smaller hospitals fared over the pandemic, and how did it feel from the perspective of those responding during the first years of the biggest health care emergency of our times? We interviewed staff in smaller hospitals around the country during 2021 to understand their key concerns from the perspective of institutions that are sometimes overlooked when system planning gets done. We also make a set of recommendations for future crisis planning and response. Nuffield Trust
