Emotional

How well people are able to accept and manage their emotions and cope with challenges throughout life.

Laurence Gamlen, pastoral, and staff wellbeing lead offers a series of one to one or group sessions for staff to support their mental health.

This service supports staff following any traumatic event that has happened during a shift. Sessions are timed to last one hour and are confidential. They can be facilitated via MS Teams or in person, or a mixture of both.

The Trust has a team of trained facilitators to lead these debriefs, and they can be arranged by raising a Datex or emailing: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The wellbeing wagon is run by the Health and Wellbeing team, who make their way around the wards and departments, sharing wellbeing information and goodies for staff to support them through their shift.

There are a range of support mechanisms within the Trust. However, as your primary care provider we will encourage you to also contact your GP if you require support as your first contact. Additionally, a self-referral can be made to occupational health: This email address is being protected from spambots.
