It has never been so important to focus on staff wellbeing as we manage the current staff health and wellbeing challenges arising from COVID-19. We know there is great practice delivered by AHPs in support of staff mental and physical health and wellbeing – indeed this is one of the key commitments in AHPs into Action. However, we also know there is marked variation in the range of services available to our staff, leading to missed opportunities and avoidable ill health.

We have curated a collection of case studies where AHPs are making a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of staff. Whilst this isn’t an exhaustive or prescriptive list, it is clear to see that if such services were available to all our staff, we would advance our collective goal to make the NHS the Best Place to Work.

We urge you to look at the collection and where you see opportunities for local improvement, to connect with your Allied Health Professions’ leaders to ensure all our staff have access to the best support for their health and wellbeing.
