More pressure than
ever before
Lack of sleep and long days, stress and lack of emotional support combined with patient backlogs and an aging population are taking their toll on our NHS staff.
Staff wellbeing
is suffering
Poor mental health and fatigue is resulting in staff sickness and absence, staff are leaving the NHS and this is having a huge impact on our NHS and its patients.
Providing
support
We support NHS staff wellbeing at a national level by providing projects and services such as councelling, helplines and wellbeing zones for staff that help ease some of the pressures faced.
A better health
service for all
Supporting NHS staff to improve their wellbeing leads to better healthcare and better treatment for you and your loved ones.
“Working as a nurse is still incredibly challenging. It’s so vital that we continue to invest in NHS staff mental health.”
Steph Gorman is an intensive care nurse at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in London, where we have funded wellbeing zones at the hospital to help support staff with their mental health.
