Our Positive Health Staff Network is open
to any member of staff who has a long
term health condition or cares for
someone who does. The network is a safe
space for staff to discuss their conditions,
get support and guidance from colleagues
and help us improve staff experience.

Management) who discussed the attendance management toolkit for managers and
Helen Bone who talked about the targeted lung health check scheme.
