- Abstract
In hospitals, green, amber and red pathways have been established, with vulnerable COVID-19 negative patients being shielded from COVID-19 positive patients in order to ensure they continued receiving vital treatment [6]. Keywords: COVID-19; resource utilisation; pandemic; staffing EN COVID-19 resource utilisation pandemic staffing 1151 1154 4 08/05/21 20210901 NES 210901 " I People are your most valuable asset. A sufficiently resourced ICU workforce will be less likely to require anaesthetists to staff intensive care, and thus allow elective surgery to continue even during times of increased ICU demand. A large-scale redeployment of hospital resources was therefore necessary during both the first and second pandemic waves to cope with the increased demand on general and acute hospital beds and critical care beds from COVID-19 admissions [13].
