What do the H&W Champions do?

Health and Wellbeing Champions work to improve finance staff’s physical and mental wellbeing, raising awareness of issues and signposting support. 

Supporting our team is one of Future-Focused Finance’s key themes. We want every member of NHS finance staff to feel supported at work and our H&W Champions help us to achieve this.

The H&W Champion Network provides members with tools and training and access to a network of others to share experiences and insights. Together, H&W Champions are helping to create a supportive and welcoming culture and happier and healthier teams.

Why become a H&W Champion?

Our H&W Champions help us to understand how staff feel. These insights enable us to shape our activities, programmes, and support, ensuring we focus on the areas that matter most to finance staff.

You will play a crucial role in our development, but you won’t be alone. H&W Champions are encouraged to collaborate and share ideas and resources. We  have a Virtual Finance Network, which has been set up as a space to connect with colleagues across the country, to share resources and advice. If you would like to be added to the teams then please complete this form.

We aim to have a H&W Champion in every NHS finance department in England. Could you help us achieve this?
