Back to better
We know how challenging the last year has been for you all. Many of you have given us positive feedback about how valuable you have found the range of health and wellbeing support we have provided over this time, from our sessions with keynote speakers at Events not in a tent and Winter webinars, to the variety of information we have signposted you to.
This includes our employee assistance programme and other support lines from our partner organisations.
Plus, we understand how useful support in other areas of your day-to-day management of your work and teams has been to you too.
We are now approaching a year since the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Government has announced its roadmap to cautiously ease lockdown restrictions.
Now is a time to focus on the future and how we move to being Back to better.
Please look out for a range of events, webinars and information throughout this month (March), April and May, covering four themes:
z Health and wellbeing z Compassionate leadership z Civility, values and behaviours z Operational So far, sessions have included International Women’s Day virtual events and an InTouch briefing on psychological support and the Here for your service from Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT).
Judith Friedman, consultant clinical psychologist at Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (EPUT), explained more about the Here for you service which they lead, together with Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT). Attendees had the opportunity to find out more detail about the support on offer and to ask questions.
Watch out for more events in the days and weeks to come.
You can access a wide range of helpful information on our Back to better Alex page.
Additionally, you can watch a variety of health and wellbeing videos on our Back to better YouTube playlist. Our trailer video and the InTouch briefings are also available on our Back to better YouTube playlist.
Introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the service is specifically for staff who work in healthcare, social care, the voluntary sector and not-for-profit sector.
