SASP have been working closely with three NHS foundation trusts in Somerset to increase the awareness of health and wellbeing in their workforce, and in particular increasing physical activity levels amongst staff. The staff are spread over 13 community hospitals and 2 main hospitals in Taunton and Yeovil. There has been an emphasis on their female staff, which makes up 80-85% of the workforce.
We have assisted the trusts to look at initiatives and projects to increase physical activity and sport levels within their staff (as well as other lifestyle behaviours) to help unlock the latent demand alongside increasing staff morale, mental wellbeing and fitness levels which we hope will have a positive impact on decreasing sickness levels.
