Wellbeing
The health and wellbeing of our staff is extremely important to us. We need to look after you, so you can look after our patients.
We have a range of support services available to all our staff, and a dedicated Wellbeing team on hand to help you access the support that you need.

Here for You is run by experts in the mental health field for healthcare staff in Hertfordshire and Essex who need someone to talk to. They offer immediate emotional wellbeing support, trauma support, signposting and self-care resources. The Here for You team also visit all of our sites in person every month to provide individual and team support sessions.
