Research has also shown that physician rates of mental distress are approaching 50%. You are right. We all need to talk.
That wouldn't be an example from aviation safety where #safestaffing levels were demanded, would it? Interesting...

Legal outcome http://m.dw.com/en/swiss-court-convicts-four-air-traffic-control-managers/a-2765480?xtref=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.co.uk%252F … 4 managers convicted of negligent manslaughter "The judge said the Skyguide managers had failed to exercise sufficient care by leaving just one air traffic controller in charge of the southern German and eastern Swiss airspace at the time."

But completely different jurisdiction & not a common law jurisdiction so interesting but not really relevant.
-
Surely “instructive” rather than “interesting but irrelevant”? Why/how could Swiss legal system hold managers accountable and bring about safety enhancing change when our legal/criminal justice system apparently finds it “all too difficult” ?
-
And Swiss law is notoriously strict on these matters. The bar for prosecution of front line staff for mistakes is lower than in the UK.

Safestaffing would only work until the first episode of unplanned absence. There’s literally no-one waiting around to step into the breach. It inevitably involves moving people around leaving next shift short or next one again
-
That’s why you need “over capacity” The old rule of thumb (not in medicine) was that to staff a single post sustainably 24/7/365 needed 8 people, working a nominal 8 hr shift pattern (9+ hours with h/over). That allowed holiday, training, & some sickness
