This week’s episode breaks down the hidden mechanics behind the Protection Gap — the structural vulnerabilities that push NHS staff toward burnout, agency work and exit. I unpack the False Choice, the Burnout‑to‑Agency Pipeline, and the collapse of trust that destabilises the workforce. And I show, clearly and calmly, how NWAF™ restores protection, stabilises retention and closes the gap for good. This is a foundational episode for anyone working in workforce, HR, accessibility, governance or NHS leadership.
