60% of nurses and midwives have considered leaving healthcare due to mental exhaustion

INMO president, Karen McGowan, said the campaign will start a conversation around the serious need for mental health and wellbeing support for frontline workers.

More than nine in 10 nurses have experienced mental exhaustion while off duty in the past 12 months.

A new survey by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has also found six in 10 have considered leaving healthcare because of the issue.
