Take the strain out of the cost of living
Who can I call if I need support?
Following the closure of the ‘With Staff in Mind’ service, if you are experiencing emotional, personal or work-related difficulties, we would encourage you to utilise the 24/7 confidential counselling service run by Vivup.
There is no limit on the number of times you can call, and everything discussed is treated in the strictest of confidence. Need to talk? Call 03303 800 658 *(or 0800 023 9324 free from any standard UK landline or mobile phone)

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Conference
In General Practice, we recognise the importance of creating a culture that is equal, diverse and inclusive and that reflects the rich diversity of our patients and workforce. With a wonderfully diverse team to support, we are committed to making this a priority.
This conference will focus on why equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) matters in General Practice, what the data shows us and what C&W Training Hub are doing to support EDI in General Practice.
It will be a platform to share new ideas that will stimulate our thinking about EDI and an opportunity to draw on a wide range of best practice and learnings from across the country.
To register for the EDI conference, please click on the button below.
Deaf Awareness Week
For Deaf Awareness Week we have popped some tips below to help you communicate with someone who is deaf. The most important point to remember is to ask the person you’re communicating with what their preferences are.
For more advice, RNID have some helpful tips.
