‘Invest in Yourself’ is our approach to employee health and wellbeing. This ethos allows staff to understand our commitment to wellbeing and to explore self-care through accessing support information via a bespoke microsite, staff app and other wellbeing interventions.

We focus on three significant wellbeing factors – physical, emotional and psychological. We endeavour to improve support mechanisms and opportunities for personal care. Some example of these are:

• Occupational health counselling
• Support networks (TRiM, Peer Support, Blue Light Champions)
• Access to physiotherapy
• Activity and fitness challenges
• Wellbeing podcasts
• Implementation of local health and wellbeing plans within service lines
• Pop up workshops
