Abstract

The pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on daily working lives. Lived experiences of the pandemic were complex, with wide variations in experiences, perspectives, and outcomes. Following a human-centred approach and responding to the call for qualitative research, the following abstract discusses the initial findings from semi-structured interviews conducted at NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSEI) during the pandemic and the national rollout of the UK's vaccination programme. Findings emphasise the importance of meaningful work, highlighting its ability to break down internal barriers to collaboration and cultivating a cultural shift in power dynamics. However, the research also emphasised the call for research into 'too much' meaningful work and its potential negative outcomes (Bailey et al 2017).
