Wellness Days for NHS staff
Why not join others from the NHS and come and spend a day at the beautiful Bield to slow down, relax and unwind?
The last few years have been challenging for many NHS employees with unprecedented pressures, stress and anxiety affecting energy levels and people’s sense of wellbeing.
This day is for those who would like to take some time out and tend to their own wellbeing.
