Welcome
Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the fifth edition of our staff Health and Wellbeing magazine.

Since our last issue, I am proud to share that our magazine was nominated for a ‘Communications Team Health and Wellbeing Award’ and was ‘highly commended’ on the evening of the annual ‘NHS Communicate Awards 2022’.
From the seeds of an idea in 2021 - aimed at getting colleagues talking more personally about the importance of their health and wellbeing - this magazine has bloomed into a safe platform for us all to share and celebrate hobbies, interests and important support and advice on a peer-to-peer level. This was through the combined efforts of all of you – who help to contribute to this magazine. It is welldeserved recognition for an important cause.
In August we also held our first ever financial health and wellbeing events (see more about the events on page 12) at both of our North Tees and Hartlepool sites. Set up in partnership with a number of local businesses and charities, the events were designed to help staff to find support, discounts and special offers as we all navigate a testing financial period.
The events were designed in direct response to the reward and recognition survey that all staff were asked to carry out earlier in the year. We hope we can continue to add to these kinds of health and wellbeing events to support you as best as we can as a valued member of our organisation.

All that remains is for me to wish each and every single one of you a happy and peaceful Christmas.
