Supporting wellbeing
with thanks to the RCN Critical Care and Flight Nursing Forum
Nursing can be a busy, stressful and emotionally draining job which can affect our lives beyond the workplace. A global pandemic in the year of the nurse and midwife has highlighted this more than ever.
We have put together some handy links to just some of what is available to you. We have divided these into four pillars, physical, emotional & mental, financial, and social wellbeing to make it easier to find what youÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥™re looking for.
Pillar 1 - Mental wellbeing
There is a wide variety of resources to help with this. We have linked just a few that may help with sleep, meditation or stress. You can also access confidential support by telephone or text message should you need it.

Pillar 3 - Social wellbeing
Social wellbeing is important to all of us. Socialising, giving back, being with others outside of work can help us to feel valued and part of a community.
Maintaining social connections can be tricky but volunteering can provide a way to connect with people.

Pillar 2 - Physical wellbeing
Whether it’s about a workout at home, help with building activity into your routine, sound nutritional advice or a podcast to listen to on a walk there’s something to help. Many of these offer discounts or are free to those in the NHS to support you increasing your activity and improving your physical wellness.

Pillar 4 - Financial wellbeing
Financial challenges can affect any of us. There are some great resources available if you need help to manage your money, tips on how to save or assistance with debt.
