These challenging times are requiring us all to adapt how we currently do things. We are being required to respond to ever changing guidance and requirements and try to support staff and patients as best we can, whilst trying to effectively manage our own health and wellbeing.
Staff are no doubt looking to you for reassurance, guidance and support even more during this time. We know resilience resides in teams and as such the leadership you demonstrate and role model to your teams has never been so important in order to work together to support each other through this crisis.
With that in mind we have created this resource to offer some support in managing both yourself and your teams, in order to continue delivering high quality care to our patients. In addition, we have launched the emotional wellbeing line. The emotional wellbeing helpline offers brief therapeutic interventions to support you to maintain your wellbeing at this time and signposting to resources and apps which may be useful to you. In addition they can offer guidance, support and advice regarding any workforce issues around the COVID-19 situation.
This helpline is also available to managers and those in leadership roles seeking leadership and coaching support, should you want to talk through any concerns you have around supporting staff through this unprecedented period.
Full details on how to access the helpline can be found on our Lincs Staying Well pages. There is also a wealth of links, apps and factsheets which staff may find useful. www.lpft.nhs.uk/LincsStayingWell
Thank you for all you do to support staff to provide excellent care during this time. Please do take care of yourselves during this time as well as your teams.
