Accessing additional help for your team
Make sure you are familiar with the initiatives on offer at the Trust and encourage your team to explore this health and wellbeing guide to understand the things they can do to proactively support their own wellbeing. When extra help is needed there are initiatives you can access:
Reasonable Adjustments
Staff who experience a disability are legally entitled to have reasonable adjustments made for them at work. Reasonable adjustments can be changes to when and how you do your job and can also include the provision of specialist equipment such as mobility aids and IT software.
Staff and their managers can explore what reasonable adjustments may be suitable for them through the use of a Health Passport. More information about this can be found in the Trust Sickness Absence (Wellbeing at Work) Policy and by contacting the HR Advisor for your Service.
Occupational Health Service
The Occupational Health Service provides a comprehensive high-quality service to all staff. Providing advice, screening and health promotion on matters relating to health at work and at home, whilst reflecting the Trust's vision and core values and embracing the Trust's Nursing and Human Resources strategies. Staff can be referred via their manager usually as part of sickness absence management or work performance issues. Staff can also self-refer at any time to the service if they have personal or work issues. Confidentiality is maintained at all times. Contact the Occupational Health Service on 024 76965420 or email OccupationalHealth@uhcw.nhs.uk .
TRiM (Trauma Risk Management)
TRIM is open to all staff following a traumatic incident that has taken place inside or outside of the workplace. It is completely confidential and involves individual or group assessments from a TRiM practitioner to help identify staff who may need further support following a traumatic incident. The team can signpost to further support when necessary. Further details can be found on the intranet.
