Lay summary
This is a qualitative study on the mental health and wellbeing of the Pacific non-regulated health workforce. This refers to health workers who are not regulated by a governing body or organisation. There is limited research available on the Pacific non-regulated workforce and so we aim to provide some initial information on them as well as inquire into their health and well-being and the services, or lack thereof, that are accessible to them.
