Groups, Teams and Peer Connection
Here you can find different ideas to build connections. Our experience of the people we work with is a big factor in our wellbeing at work.
Reflective spaces
Sometimes we just need a quiet space to reflect on our work. The Trust offers a number of options to support staff to reflect on their own or part of a structured group session.
Schwartz Rounds
These are internationally recognised sessions, open to all staff (clinical and non-clinical), that are proven to reduce stress and improve wellbeing. Working in any health setting can present challenges, and these sessions are designed to reconnect colleagues with each other and remind them why they do their job. The sessions take place regularly throughout the year across the Trust. More information can be found on the intranet.
Support for individuals and teams after an incident
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.
