The National Health Service (NHS) is launching a £5 million health and wellbeing initiative for its 1.3 million health service staff.
The new programme will be based around three pillars: a drive for improved staff health; occupational health services for GPs; and healthier food and nutrition.
“The benefits of this initiative far outweigh the investment for such a fundamental UK public service.
“The NHS often attracts bad press with little attention given to the staff who work tirelessly to provide one of the best services in the world.
“I hope NHS organisations plan well and measure the impact of this initiative to ensure the best use of the investment.”
