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
When: 30 November, 6pm – 8pm
Dinner and other refreshments will be provided.
Please tell us if you are going to attend, as there are limited spaces at this workshop.
