Our psychologists also work at an organisational level to encourage wider cultural change concerning staff wellbeing at work.

Our Trust has been improving colleague health and wellbeing services for a number of years and in 2019 introduced the 2020 Staff Support and Advice Hub.

Looking after ourselves and our colleagues continues to be a priority as we all continue to work within the rapidly changing and challenging circumstances. As a result, the Staff Psychology Service was developed from expanding and developing the previous staff support service.

This has meant the service is able to offer more timely, accessible and tailored support to teams and individuals, helping them to understand and manage the emotional impact of their work. The service offers 1:1 support for individuals and managers, team interventions and remote workshops.

This may require confronting rigidly held unrealistic beliefs and expectations.

- Effective communication of highly complex, contentious, delicate and often unwelcome information to colleagues in a highly emotive atmosphere, and in a rapidly changing or uncertain context is expected.
