Wellbeing
The University has recognised for some time that stress poses a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of staff and we have addressed the issue by:

- Continuing to provide individual support
- Promoting physical wellbeing programmes

Alongside these measures we recognise the need to develop the skills of our leaders and managers. With this in mind, we have designed a brand new course to help you improve wellbeing in the workplace.
