The European Board of Anaesthesiology supports the #FightFatigue Campaign
The European Board of Anaesthesiology believes it's time for healthcare professions, managers and funders to acknowledge that working at night is not the same as working in the day. For the sake of patient safety, steps must be taken by all parties to manage night working safely. To take this forward the EBA is wholeheartedly supporting the #FightFatigue Campaign which is working hard to address this crucial issue for healthcare staff and patients.
The #Fight Fatigue Campaign has produced many useful resources which are freely available to use (with an acknowledgement)
