Wise about wellbeing...

While you are caring for our patients, or supporting those who provide care, it is extremely important to remember to focus on your wellbeing and to check in with your colleagues too.

There are a wide variety of resources available to you to support your health and wellbeing. Each month, we share practical information and tips as part of our wise about wellbeing feature. This month, we are focusing on our new support plan for our people – the ‘My Health and Wellbeing Workplace Support Plan’ – which was launched on Monday, 31 July.

If you find yourself needing additional support at work, for example a disability or long-term condition, the support plan will provide a documented record of your needs and allow you to undertake your duties without prejudice or discrimination.

Completing the support plan is voluntary, is available to anyone who may need it, and can be completed at any time during your employment.

The plan will outline details of any reasonable adjustments agreed between an employee and their line manager, ensuring they are able to work to their full potential within a positive and supportive environment.

If you would like further information, or would like support to complete a ‘My Health and Wellbeing Workplace Support Plan’, please email the SHaW team or complete a self-referral form on the SHaW workspace on AlexNet >
