South West Health and Wellbeing Network
Aiming to cultivate a culture that champions health and happiness, both on a personal and professional level, throughout the region.
The South West Health and Wellbeing Champion Network is committed to improving the physical and mental wellbeing of finance staff across the South West region. Our primary goal is to support our champions in effectively raising awareness of health-related issues and guiding staff towards available support services. Through collaborative efforts, the network aims to cultivate a workplace environment that prioritises and fosters employee wellbeing. Through the exchange of ideas, resources, and challenges among our champions, we seek to create a supportive community dedicated to promoting health and wellness initiatives within NHS Finance departments across the South West. The key aims for the network are:
- Sharing good practice
- Promoting health and wellbeing
- Supporting existing champions
- Encouraging more colleagues to join the network
On this page you will find recordings, information on the network and relevant resources for your teams.
