We recognise that colleagues may be worried about the Israel/Gaza conflict, particularly those who have family or friends there or are supporting patients who do. Help is available to all colleagues who are concerned about what’s happening in the Middle East or other places of conflict.
NHS Chaplains
Our chaplains are members of hospital staff and are here to support you, patients and their families. Whatever your faith, or if you have no religious beliefs at all, they are here for you. Conversations are confidential and can take place in person, over the phone or on Zoom. Click here for details of your Trust’s chaplain

Your line manager is here to support you to feel your best at work. If you do feel worried about the situation, please let them or another senior member of staff know.
