In taking this forward, NHS England recently announced the "A healthy NHS workforce" initiative.

In addition, NHS Employers have launched the How are you feeling NHS? <\/em>toolkit. This has been developed with NHS staff to help bridge a gap in understanding and enable them to: talk openly and regularly about their emotional health; assess the impact emotional wellbeing has on themselves, their colleagues and patients, and help with action planning to enable more good days than bad.
