Wellbeing Wall boosting morale on ANU

A Wellbeing Wall on one Salford Royal ward is helping boost morale among teammembers

The staff on the Acute Neurology Unit (ANU) were feeling tired and weary after the firstnational lockdown and decided they needed something to keep them motivated during thetough times they were facing

So they created a Wellbeing Wall display using cards featuring motivational messages andsurrounded them with little hearts each including the name of a member of the ANU team

Summer Ibriz Chaudhry Staff Nurse who helped create the display said ldquoThe love heartsindicated that everyone shared the same attributes

ldquoStaff responded to this very well it made people feel like they were part of a workingfamily and boosted morale

ldquoAdditionally the ward provided a box for staff to write nice comments about each otherand we stuck them to the wall for everyone to readrdquo

How are you keeping positive wellbeing at the top of the agenda in your ward ordepartment Please email staffexperiencesrftnhsuk and share your story
