Supporting our workforce: Spotlight on the Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub

The Staff Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub provides free and confidential support to everyone working in health and care across the North East and North Cumbria.

In one of the latest Providers Podcast episode, we speak with Dr Richard Duggins, Clinical Lead for the Hub and Consultant Psychiatrist at Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust.

Dr Duggins reflects on why the Hub was created, the increasing pressures facing our workforce and how early and compassionate support can make a meaningful difference.

He describes how the needs of staff have changed over time, what someone can expect when they contact the Hub and the positive impact the service is having across the region.

He also offers thoughtful advice for leaders and managers on how to nurture safer, healthier and more supportive workplaces where colleagues feel able to seek help and thrive.
