More than 40 percent of healthcare workers are willing to work extra in the event of a high dropout rate as a result of the Mexican flu. This is apparent from various studies by, among others, Medjob and Zorgwerk employment agency.
This concerns work outside one's own institution, via a so-called Grieppool † Of the registrations to this pool so far, 46 percent are nurses/carers, 13 percent medical personnel and 41 percent support personnel.
The Grieppool was founded as a contribution to continuity of care † Healthcare institutions can fall back on this in the event of staff shortages. Former healthcare workers, including retirees, are also of great value in keeping healthcare facilities affected by extreme outages running.
