I have seen a lot of clinicians retire or because of their own health, withdraw themselves from the community. It takes a long time to manage a serious COVID patient to discharge, compared to what they're used to and our clinicians are just exhausted.

We have a system that scans and indexes all our contracts to help keep track. It includes renewal dates, when they're coming up etc. There are weeks when I feel as though I am nothing more than an extension of the legal team. There's always activity going on in that space. It's a very large part of my job.
