NHS workers
British medical employees
NHS workers are employees of Britain's National Health Service—the publicly funded healthcare system covering doctors, nurses, paramedics, administrative staff, and support personnel.
The term gained particular prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, when clapping for NHS workers became a weekly ritual of public appreciation.
NHS workers face burnout from understaffing and long shifts.
