Generous charity donation supports staff wellbeing

Funding towards our staff wellbeing support services have been boosted thanks to a £2,500 charitable donation by two generous members of the public.

Following an exclusive tour of the new Royal site last year, Dr Peter Pang and his wife Helen discussed the immense pressures staff are facing across our hospitals and the need for support now more than ever.

The pair also visited our charity funded patient and staff wellbeing rooms in the Linda McCartney Centre and welcomed the idea of staff and patients being able to access complementary therapies.

Mrs Pang said: “It’s simple, we need to look after the people who look after us.”

The charitable contribution has kick started a Trust-wide drive to fund:

• A staff wellbeing hub in the Royal

• Extend funding and increase access to psychology and counselling services for staff

• Additional therapist and relaxation sessions in our dedicated staff and patient wellbeing rooms based in the Linda McCartney Centre

• Exercise classes for staff, gym equipment and a lifestyle checkpoint health and wellbeing kiosk.
