a
Ethnicity was defined by respondents in response to the question: “Could you tell me the ethnicity with which you identify?” and then grouped according to UK Government population statistics categories.
b
Respondents were only deemed to have been redeployed when they had been asked to work in a clinical area where they had not previously worked as part of their contracted role at the Trust, or where their rotational working pattern had been completely re-designed due to SARS-CoV-2 service delivery reconfigurations
c
Respondents were recorded as ‘Possibly (Unconfirmed)’ when they believed they had contracted SARS-CoV-2, but never received clinical diagnosis
