Wellbeing Matters
A Support, Learning and Development Program, Transforming Wellbeing for Health and Social Care Teams

The Client
Seven leading ICS across the midlands, with many NHS Trusts involved from each ICS
The Challenge
The creation and delivery of a program that can be rolled out at scale across ICS and ICB organisations, while also retaining the necessary flexibility to respond to local needs.
Address burnout and absence due to sickness for frontline teams, at all levels of the workforce. To do so through an innovative and highly collaborative approach, connecting participants in mixed cohorts offering protected time to reflect and learn new practices which support resilience, self-compassion, and personal wellbeing.
The Program
This 10-week program, made up of 5 x 1.5hr live sessions on MS Teams, is designed to offer a unique learning experience for participants with minimum demand on their time. Co-creating a safe and supportive space to share and reflect, sessions include:
-
Mindset and perceptions on personal wellbeing
-
Reframing vulnerability
-
Empathy, compassion and self-compassion
-
Listening and relatedness
Participants will develop a fresh mindset and an accompanying set of innovative, proactive practices to support their own, and others, wellbeing in a sustainable way. Embedded with opportunities for peer discussion, reflective practice, and a supportive practice partnership, the program goes beyond the acquisition of new knowledge, towards achieving behavioural change and transformation.

It is so unique! It is very different to other wellbeing programmes I have been on and I think that has made it more meaningful
