The health and social care sectors have faced operational challenges for several years, due to budgetary constraints and a demanding push for continual efficiency gains. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has further amplified these historic issues, resulting in significant caseloads and backlogs leading to workflow challenges and strain within teams. The cessation of elective service provision at the height of the pandemic has meant that in many counties, more than 10% of the population are awaiting treatment.
