In line with the government's Living with COVID plan, we have replaced our COVID-19 office protocols. We now have simple guidance to help support face-to-face working, including coming into the office.
Our staff are vital to our future success. We take staff wellbeing very seriously, particularly in the light of the different experiences and difficulties people have had during the COVID-19 pandemic. That's why we've signed up to a workplace wellbeing index run by the mental health charity MIND.
The index is a measure of best policy and practice for employee wellbeing. As part of the index, we are examining how well we are doing and where we could improve our approach to mental health in the workplace.
By taking part in the index, we are hoping to better understand what helps our colleagues stay well at work. We can then make sure we are offering the support that's needed, and are nurturing the right culture for everyone to thrive.
Looking ahead, we can see some significant developments which will have a big impact on what pharmacy is expected to do and on how we regulate pharmacy.
We are continuing to implement our new ways of working, and to put in place improved structures, systems and processes. Through these we will be able to respond quickly and effectively to these developments as they happen, work flexibly and successfully achieve our aims.
