All NHS teams are encouraged to get involved in the NHS-CHORUS Network. If you are interested, please sign up using the link below as soon as possible. The NHS-CHORUS Network will research, share and develop best OH&WB practice:
Effective cross-trust working, supported by a research team, to develop, deliver, and evaluate staff physical activity initiatives.
Build critical mass to attract and secure funding for initiatives.
Members will include a mix of regions and Trust types.
Map Existing Initiatives:
Collect and review information on staff physical activity programmes already running in NHS Trusts.
Identify who these initiatives target and whether they have been adapted for different staff groups or ethnicities.
What NHS Trusts will gain:
Early access to a national overview of physical activity initiatives across the NHS.
Opportunities to help design programmes tailored to diverse staff groups.
Support for improving staff health, wellbeing, and retention.
Inclusion in a national network influencing policy and practice.
Opportunities to learn best practice from others.
Involvement in ongoing nationally impactful research on healthcare worker health and well-being.
What we are asking NHS Trusts to do:
Identify a named contact to join NHS-CHORUS, participating in three online meetings over 10 months (i.e. approximately 3-4 hours of time over 10 months).
Share information on existing or past physical activity programmes in your Trust/organisation. Information provided will not be linked in any published material to individuals nor trusts.
Link us with colleagues who can provide details about these existing or past initiatives.
