The London Transformation and Learning Collaborative (LTLC) have curated a series of resources to offer emotional and psychological support to NHS staff who had a role in the Coronavirus response.

The Staff Recovery Resources aim to help health and care staff explore how they feel and how they might respond to those around them. They also address how colleagues may approach wellbeing in different ways by covering a variety of approaches including wellbeing conversations, creative story telling workshops and a mini-series of filmed conversations.

The LTLC Staff Recovery Resources include:

• Creating Spaces for Wellbeing are 4 resources for staff that can be facilitated for colleagues by anyone who feels able, to support themselves and others.
• Developing Wellbeing Conversations introduces this as a concept and includes downloadable prompt cards and a guide to provide guidance and support.
• Creative Story Telling workshops aim to help participants process their experiences, make sense of chaos, grieve, reflect and feel less alone.
• DEBRIEF is a reflective tool to encourage participants to develop deeper reflection on specific workplace issues.
• A series of films created in November 2020 by the LTLC team which explore some of the impacts of the pandemic on staff including reclaiming space for connection with each other and difficulties in switching off from work.

To support staff being redeployed into critical care during the pandemic, the London Transformation and Learning Collaborative (LTLC) has worked in partnership with Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) to develop a range of resources to support staff.
