This conference will discuss workforce mental health support schemes which provide fundamental support systems for NHS staff, equipping them with the skills to provide confidential listening services to colleagues; as well as assessing how the 40 new NHS staff mental health hubs across England are performing. There will be further discussions around how a trust can learn and improve when care does not go as expected. This conference will also highlight the actions that are aiming to reduce staff pressures by having ways of improving recruitment and ability of the NHS to keep staff retention at the highest level possible.
Caring for the mental health and psychological wellbeing of the NHS' people is essential in delivering world class care and patient safety. COVID-19 thrust front line NHS staff under a spotlight, but this will still be the case as NHS staff will have to deal with the backlog that. The day-to-day challenges for the NHS Workforce are something that although the worse of the pandemic is behind us, the workload of staff will certainly remain at a high levels and daily pressures will remain for staff.
This conference will furthermore discuss the actions trusts are taking internally and what external support is available. These solutions aim to across the country, help solve issues from retention, wellbeing management, burnout and culture change.

Burnout is a state of physical and emotional exhaustion. It can occur when you experience long-term stress in your job, or when you have worked in a physically or emotionally draining role for a long time. This presentation will be talking about how people across the NHS are addressing this very issue.
Common signs of burnout:
When asked to identify the symptoms of burnout, 85% of UK adults correctly identified symptoms of burnout, while 68% mistakenly identified symptoms of anxiety.
Support hubs have been set up across England to offer NHS staff, at greatest risk of suffering mental health problems as a result of working during the pandemic, access to mental health services.

Compassionate leadership involves a focus on relationships through careful listening to, understanding, empathising with and supporting other people, enabling those we lead to feel valued, respected and cared for, so they can reach their potential and do their best work. There is clear evidence that compassionate leadership results in more engaged and motivated staff with high levels of wellbeing, which in turn results in high-quality care.
