EDNA, which stands for Employee Disability and Neurodivergent Advice Service, is all about supporting NHS and Primary Care colleagues in the workplace, ensuring that those who have a disability, long term condition or are neurodivergent have the correct support in place to be able to thrive in their role.

Through a specialist team, you’ll be offered one-to-one advice and a safe space to talk, as well as help with areas such as reasonable adjustments, employment rights and HR advice. You do not need a medical referral or formal diagnosis. EDNA can also offer training to managers whose team members may be living with a disability, long term condition or neurodivergence.

Contact our team by email on EDNA@solent.nhs.uk. EDNA is available Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm.

Or self-refer online using this form: EDNA Self-Referral Form (office.com)
