PURPOSE Medical students across the United Kingdom helped the National Health Service (NHS) with the increased workload caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was conducted to better understand the implications of COVID-19 on the intricate relationship between the psychological wellbeing of students and working within the NHS. METHOD This was a cross-sectional, national UK study analysing the self-reported pandemic anxiety scale (PAS) of participants during the pandemic, using an online questionnaire. RESULTS 25.2% of participants worked within the NHS. Working significantly reduced anxiety levels of participants. Concerns around the training and information provided on personal protective equipment (PPE) (OR 2.57, 95% CI OR: 1.93, 3.43) (p < 0.001) and Ethnicity (OR 2.15, 95% CI OR: 1.54, 2.99) (p < 0.001) were the most significant covariates affecting the likelihood of working. CONCLUSION Working during the pandemic was influenced by age, ethnicity and information surrounding PPE. On average those who worked experienced less anxiety and were more cheerful and energetic.
