The NHS People Plan 2020121 makes a promise to l ook after its people and states that if we don't l ook after oursel ves, and each other, we cannot deliver safe, high quality care. Now more than ever is it crucial that we support the health and wellbeing of our staff and that we aim to build on the lessons learnt through Covid-19, from the national and local resources that are currently avail abl e, by developing new initiatives and listening to you.

We are dedicating this month's special bumper edition of Caring for You to the themes from the Peopl e Plan and we will highlight the resources that you can access. We hope that you will find at l east one source of advice or guidance useful ; if you don't, pl ease browse the Caring for You pages on Bob or let us know what you would like to see.

Women's health in the workplace Menopause Did you access our training on 16 October to celebrate World Menopause Day? It is the second year in a row that we have provided this training in our effort to raise awareness of impact of women suffering symptoms in the workplace. If you were unable to attend the training take a look at Bob to find out some helpful tips.

Work/life balance Some tips to remind us to look after ourselves: 1. Important reminder on the weekends, when so many don't take time to fully unplug. We're now in a time in which three of our largest and most important institutions-work, family and school-are often overlapping in one place. So the challenge, even for those not dealing with children, is how to live and work in a sustainable way-one in which we're not stressed all the time and consumed by all the demands on us.

2. We are ordinary people doing ordinary things and it is ok to ask for help.

This includes our managers and leaders - we need you to lead by example and look after yourselves so that you can look after us and lead us through these times of extraordinary change.

3. My Best Self 101 explains how to be kind to one another and have selfcompassion.

A couple of weeks ago to support the concept of flexible working we suggested trialling a message in your email signature to highlight that we are working different hours and don't therefore expect a response outside of your normal working hours. Here's an example: I have sent this message at a time that is convenient for me, I do not expect you to respond to it outside your normal business hours. Please give it a go and see if it makes a difference.
