Teaching Trust gains a re-accreditation for its compassionate focus on health and wellbeing support

The Occupational Health and Wellbeing Service at Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust has gained the SEQOHS (Safe, Effective, Quality Occupational Health Service) re-accreditation for the health and wellbeing support it offers to staff.

An achievement granted by the Royal College of Physicians in association with the Faculty of Occupational Medicine. This re-accreditation underscores the Trust's commitment to providing exceptional support to its staff, aligning with standards aimed at enhancing care quality.

The team’s proactive stance towards health, including initiatives to prevent ill health like integrating physiotherapy and wellbeing programmes, contributed significantly to this achievement.

Phillip Marshall, Director of Workforce and Organisational Development at Mid Yorkshire, said:

I am thrilled that the service we provide our employees continues to meet with the high standards set by SEQOHS. As an organisation we have a compassionate focus on the health and wellbeing of all staff. We believe if we offer the best level of support, this will echo into the care provided for our patients, in the communities, and across our three hospital sites.

The Occupational Health and Wellbeing team have worked exceptionally hard to secure this re-accreditation. It is great to see their efforts have been recognised.
