REACT-ing to support mental wellbeing

February 8, 2021

The Trust is training more REACT Practitioners to support the mental wellbeing of colleagues. The training is a half day online course that can be completed using any type of tablet or laptop and it can be done from home. The equipment used does not need to be supplied by the Trust, personal devices are fine. Here is a link with more information.

The following dates are available with spaces, with training sessions lasting from 9am through to 1.30pm

  • February: 12, 15, 19 and 26.
  • March: 1, 5, 8, 12, 15, 16 and 22.

If you would like to become a REACT Practitioner please ask your line manager to email Mandeep.gill11@nhs.net and provide your name, place of work and which course you would prefer to attend. Where courses are full you will be asked for another date.

Colleagues must be willing and able to provide support to colleagues within the Trust and it is not anticipated that this would take more than a maximum of one hour per week. We especially welcome staff to complete the training from the surgical services group and also any staff who work on wards and areas that have been particularly impacted by COVID. However, all colleagues may request a place.

Note: This training is externally purchased by the Trust and failure to attend once booked may incur a financial penalty.
