Peer Support

Peer support is where colleagues offer supportive conversations within the context of work. Find out more about our training to become a Peer Supporter:

The Framework of Peer Support

We recognise the impact of working in intensive care, on the welfare and mental health of staff and the value of supporting staff of intensive care units to mitigate these impacts. Please refer to our Strategic Framework for Peer Support which outlines the core principles and values for supporting people affected by incidents and adversity at work, the nature of stressors experienced at work, the strategic intent of supporting intensive care staff within which peer support sits, and then outlines the Peer Support Framework in its principles, values and structure for safe delivery. We thank Professor Richard Williams and Verity Kemp for their help in developing this framework.

You can find this framework for download below, and three important supplementary documents available to the right of the page.
