Dr Michelle Mahdon, Health and Wellbeing programme leader at The Work Foundation said:

ìWe very much welcome the final report from the Boorman Review and its recommendations. Putting a strong emphasis on the need to address organisational behaviours as a route to improving health and wellbeing is an enlightened and critical step that the NHS must take up.

ìThe report has made a compelling case for change highlighting the significant costs of ill health to the NHS and the impact on quality of care. We believe the recommendation to embed the health and wellbeing of staff into NHS systems and infrastructure is core to ensuring the success of the NHS, its ability to flourish in the future and to enhance its ability to deliver quality care to its patients and staff. The report should leave the NHS and government in no doubt as to the need to act now and, crucially, how to act.î
