Winter Health and Wellbeing Support
Supporting the wellbeing of our region is vital and ensures our staff members are well equipped to deliver the best patient care at any time, especially during the upcoming winter season when our colleagues will encounter a number of pressures and challenges.
The NHS Staff survey has identified that our staff are experiencing fatigue and burn out and adding in the extra pressures of winter, it’s important that leaders can support themselves and their staff to maintain their health and wellbeing.
To help you to do this we are delivering a range of winter health and wellbeing support which includes topics, models and tools such as:
How to create a personal action plan to help transfer the learning back into your workforce.
The needs wheel and how to keep your wheel fully inflated
A personal energy audit and how to avoid winter thinking traps
Top tips to nurture yourself so you have more energy

Don’t be a DNA!
DNAs (did not attend) aren’t just an issue for GP surgeries and outpatient clinics. At NEYLA we aim to offer a wide variety of development opportunities to as many staff as possible, and like all NHS services we are feeling the impact of budget restrictions.
You can help us to increase our impact by letting us know when plans have changed. So far in this financial year, there have been over 900 individual DNA’s which has resulted in the loss of workshop and programme places worth £1000’s in public money that could have been offered to those on our waiting list.
We understand that DNAs are sometimes unavoidable due to increasing pressure on services and staffing levels. However, as our events and programmes are often over-subscribed, please let us know at your earliest convenience if you are unable to attend a session. This will allow us to allocate this place to the waiting list to maximise attendance and ensure effective use of NHS funds.
