<p>The Government takes the health and wellbeing of National Health Service staff
very seriously. At the beginning of the COVID-19 response, the Department commissioned
NHS England and NHS Improvement to develop a comprehensive package of emotional, psychological,
and practical support for all NHS staff. NHS England and NHS Improvement launched
the support package on 8 April 2020 which can be accessed via the following link:</p><p><a
href="https://people.nhs.uk/help/" target="_blank">people.nhs.uk/help/</a></p><p>Development
of the support package has been informed by both the experiences of NHS staff contacting
the national telephone and text service, as well as expert advice and research into
mental health needs following major incidents. The support package will continue to
be updated by listening to feedback from NHS staff who use the services, including
how COVID-19 response has affected them.</p><p> </p>
