Primary Care Services North Cumbria this week launched some face to face staff focus groups in conjunction with ICan Wellbeing group CIO as part of the People Promise programme of work. (You can find out more about the People Promise here).

Project Manager for Primary Care Services North Cumbria Samantha Gargett explained:

“We are working with our workforce to really understand what wellbeing in the workplace really means to them and how we can help shape GP practices approach to staff wellbeing & retention across North Cumbria, the fact that practices have invested time and space for staff to attend these sessions really shows their commitment to this piece of work.”

People Promise Manager Kirsty Jay (pictured right) led one half of the session followed by the team from iCan. Once all focus groups are complete the results and feedback will be collated, along with feedback from a recent wellbeing survey, to allow Kirsty to continue her valuable work across North Cumbria ensuring a workforce led approach to the People Promise work across North Cumbria.  The team showed appreciation to all involved in the sessions.
