Throughout October and November, we're holding our big health and wellbeing team talk.

As a Trust, we place a really high value on the wellbeing of you - our people - as well as our patients. Earlier this year we launched our workforce health and wellbeing hub, and we want to continue to share information and support you as best we can. 

We'll be hosting a number of talks and events, podcasts and videos, as well as freebies and competitions over the next two months. Plus - most importantly - we'll be launching some super important pledges which we know are very important to colleagues, and introducing some of our new teams too. 

We'll be covering lots of the topics including national awareness days/months as part of our big health and wellbeing team talk. Information about the events we have planned so far can be found below. Colleagues will be on hand to share resources and advice on support with topics such as menopause, female and male cancers, mental wellbeing, financial wellbeing and equality, diversity and inclusion. Be sure to keep an eye on this page, as we'll be adding more information across the weeks, about different events we've got planned.
