International Self Care Day at Cygnet Hospital Maidstone
To mark International Self-Care Day, Cygnet Hospital Maidstone’s Specialist Wellbeing Team hosted a Staff Health MOT Day, giving colleagues the opportunity to focus on their own health and wellbeing.
The event offered physical health checks, self-care goody bags, and one-to-one advice from specialist staff, including a dietitian, fitness instructor, physical health lead and recovery college lead. Designed to support both physical and mental wellbeing, the initiative encouraged staff to take time for themselves while accessing practical health advice and resources.
The day received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with one staff member describing it as “more impactful than any time I’ve been to the GP.” The event highlighted the importance of supporting healthcare professionals to look after their own wellbeing, helping them continue to provide outstanding care for those they support.
