Researchers from the University of Victoria are inviting healthcare workers to take part in an online survey examining the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers' wellbeing. We aim to understand how people who work in healthcare settings have been impacted, and what kinds of policies, practices or supports could help support this vital workforce.

The survey is open to anyone who works in a healthcare field or setting in either British Columbia or Ontario, is 18 or older, can complete an online questionnaire in English and has access to an internet connection and device in order to complete the online survey. We encourage all healthcare workers to take part to ensure their unique experiences are shared and their voices are heard.

The survey takes around 40-50 minutes to complete, and you can request a personalized link to access the survey by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3tJCvPN. Personalized survey links will be sent to the email address you provide within 24-48 hours.

Participants will be offered a $5 Tim Hortons gift card, and be entered into a draw to win one of several prizes up to $500.

Whether you participate or not, we offer profound thanks for all you do.

This study's Research Ethics ID number is H21-02858. Further information can be obtained from Principal Investigators Brianna Turner (briannat@uvic.ca) and Theone Paterson (tpaterson@uvic.ca​).
