Continuing disorder across the UK
HCRG Staffing stands against those who choose to spread hate and violence and, instead, will show kindness and compassion as our services continue to support those who need us during this difficult time.
In light of the recent disorders that have occurred around the United Kingdom, we would like to reassure you that we are doing all we can to support bank and agency staff during this difficult time.
In line with NHS England guidance and the recent news from Wes Streeting on racism in the NHS and the updated support for nurses refusing treatment by the RCN, we would like to communicate that there are resources that you have access to that can help during this time. Please see the below resources:
- NHS111 is a route that can also support those in a mental health crisis and can be accessed 24/7 for local support by selecting mental health ‘option 2’. These services aim to provide immediate support for mental health crises and improve access to care.
Please pass this information on to all colleagues who may benefit from using these during this difficult time.
We are actively supporting staff, many of whom – alongside others in the NHS – work in the heart of local communities and should be able to get on with the important job of delivering vital healthcare to patients without being put into vulnerable situations that cause them to be fearful or anxious.
HCRG Staffing would also encourage anyone who feels that they need support to reach out to their manager or colleagues.
