#FightFatigue campaign backers

We see it as our collective duty to raise awareness and offer practical solutions to help improve the  perceptions of fatigue self-assessment and fatigue risk management within the NHS. 

As the impact of fatigue is not limited to anaesthesia and intensive care medicine, we're encouraging the support of other healthcare professions, presenting an opportunity for multiple NHS specialties to work together to tackle fatigue in the workplace. 

Thank you to our supporters
