As an employee of an NHS Trust or Primary Care in Hampshire and Isle of Wight, you have access to independent, confidential 24/7 telephone support and legal advice 365 days a year on a large range of issues through your Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
Plus access to great benefits and savings in most cases.
Primary Care’s EAP is provided for by VivUp.

The webinar covers details on what exactly is an EAP, the importance of your wellbeing, the breadth of services available within your Employee Assistance Programme, how to access, what happens should you need to use and take any questions you may have.
