A message from Trish Bennett, Chief Executive Officer

I would like to invite you to complete the Health Needs Assessment (HNA) 2025 survey. 

The HNA is a series of questions that focus on your health and wellbeing; where we ask for your views on what we’re doing well and how we might improve our offer.  

We last undertook a Health Needs Assessment in 2023 and asked you to make suggestions on how the Trust could improve your wellbeing at work. As a result, we have listened to your views and took the following actions: 

  • We enhanced our wellbeing offer with increased access to support, resources and activities to better meet your needs 
  • We evolved our policies and support offer in areas such as menopause, and engaged with colleagues to ensure our offer was relevant and resonating with your lived experience 
  • We developed a whole person support offer through our Staff Wellbeing Hub to address the financial, mental, physical and social wellbeing needs of our community. 

You can visit the Staff Wellbeing Hub to see what other support has been developed with your input. 

We now want to revisit our Health Needs Assessment survey to fully understand if we are meeting your current needs. 

The information you share will help shape the support we put in place for you. Responses to the survey will remain confidential.

Click here to complete the Health Needs Assessment 2025, and please encourage your colleagues to take part. 

The Wellbeing Team will be visiting sites across the Trust to promote and encourage participation, from 23 June to 14 August. Visit YourSpace to find out when and where they’ll be popping up.

If you don’t feel there is opportunity to capture all your thoughts within the assessment, please contact wellbeinghub@merseycare.nhs.uk and one of the team will be more than happy to speak with you.
