NWAS has internal wellbeing information and support routes for staff. Some of these sit on NWAS systems that may not open from a personal phone.

For now, use an NWAS device or the usual internal channels to access the latest wellbeing information.

Occupational Health can support staff with health and work-related concerns. Access arrangements are managed through NWAS internal routes.

We'll add an approved direct route here if NWAS provides one.

NWAS staff networks can provide community, information and signposting on issues that matter to colleagues.

Use NWAS internal channels for the current network contacts and joining information.
