Stress, anxiety and depression are the biggest cause of sickness absence in our society. In fact, work related stress accounted for 45% of all working days lost to ill health in the UK in 2015/16.
Mental health related absences cost UK employers an estimated £26 billion per year – over £1,000 per employee – on top of the value of lost productivity. It is estimated that by taking a few simple steps to improve the management of mental health in the workplace, UK employers could save 30% or more of these losses – at least £8 billion a year.

We are looking for your help. Have you had experience of any of the following in your own GP surgery or in a GP surgery near you:
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)*?
• Warfarin monitoring?
• 24 hour blood pressure?
• Dressings of wounds?
• Lung test (spirometry)**?
• Pessary fitting or removal***?
Your CCG is looking to ensure that local residents’ views help to form any new ways of working in GP surgeries in Hammersmith and Fulham, both involving the services above and more widely. For example, you might want more GP support in doing more exercise, eating more healthily, or drinking less alcohol. Or you might want to see GPs work with you or people you love to stay well and out of hospital.
You don’t need to be an expert on NHS health services – you just need to come prepared to share your ideas with us!
Where: St Paul’s Centre, Queen Caroline Street, London, W6 9PJ

Vision Care for Homeless People is holding a Dinner on 23rd November at the Lansdowne Club and your colleagues may wish to attend.
For those who are yet to hear about Vision Care for Homeless People, we run opticians clinics for homeless people in London (3 clinics), Brighton, Birmingham Manchester, Exeter and Leeds. Using optometrists, dispensing opticians and eye care assistants, most of them volunteers, we provide glasses free of charge to 1,800 homeless people each year. Of those, only a third are eligible for NHS funding, so we make up the difference by using volunteers, through gifts in kind and with charity fundraising.
Homeless people are particularly disadvantaged when it comes to obtaining sight tests, glasses and eye care. They suffer a higher level of eye problems than the general population. They also find high street opticians difficult to access and are prone to losing or breaking their glasses.
We are proud of what we do but are keen to do more because our research suggests that nearly 20,000 homeless people are in need of glasses each year. We want to reach more homeless people, so have embarked on an ambitious expansion programme – we have launched two new clinics so far this year.
We are holding a Dinner in support of the charity at the Lansdowne Club, on Thursday 23 November. Guests will hear from our founder about why the charity’s work is so vitally important and get a preview of our exciting plans for the future.
Enjoy a fine three course dinner with wine, friends and colleagues and the opportunity to make new ones in a relaxed setting with live music.
Tickets are priced at £50. Tickets can be booked here until 7th November.
If you have any questions about the event or would like to book a table please email harry.todd@vchp.org.uk or 02032864186.
