𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵!

A perfect time for all of us to pause, breathe, and think about how stress is affecting our lives — and what we can do to manage it better.

Every year, Stress Awareness Month helps raise understanding around the causes and impact of stress, while encouraging open conversations. When we talk more, we cope better — both individually and as a community.

This year’s theme from the Stress Management Society is Be The Change It’s about moving from feeling overwhelmed to taking small, positive actions that build resilience. Your choices, your habits, and even your story can inspire those around you.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻 ‘𝗕𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲’ 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵
• Show kindness — check in on someone who might be struggling
• Look after yourself — small acts of self care can make a big difference
• Share your experiences — talking openly helps break the stigma
• Get outdoors — even a short walk can boost your mood

Let’s support each other, start conversations, and make April a month of positive change.

We’re excited to share some wonderful news from Middlewood Clinic! 🌟

The service has achieved an excellent outcome in its recent Quality Network for Eating Disorders (QED) inspection, a fantastic reflection of the care, compassion and dedication shown by the whole team.

Service users told inspectors that:
• They “really felt welcome” when arriving
• Staff were “great” and check-ins were “meaningful”
• They “really feel the staff care”
• Treatment feels personalised and tailored to their needs

Carers also gave overwhelmingly positive feedback, describing the team as “a breath of fresh air” and saying they’ve “never had a bad experience”. Families shared how much it means to see their loved ones treated as individuals, with care that truly fits their needs.

Hospital Director Wayne Panou said:
“I am extremely proud to have received such a commendation. It reflects the dedication, compassion and commitment our staff show every day. As a new clinic, it’s heartwarming to be recognised so early on for the quality of care we provide.”

Congratulations to the whole Middlewood Clinic team, this achievement is so well deserved! 💙

𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗪𝗢! 💚

As Emerald Place Clinic turns two, we’re incredibly proud of the progress, dedication and teamwork that have shaped the service into what it is today. Over the past two years, the team have strengthened governance, improved clinical processes, and embedded consistent high‑quality practice - leading to:

- A ‘𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱’ 𝗖𝗤𝗖 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
- 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 in the 2025 QNIC (Quality Network for Inpatient CYPMHS)
- An ‘𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴’ 𝗢𝗳𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 for our school provision
Positive recognition from commissioners and external professionals

Behind these achievements is a dedicated team who have strengthened quality, improved processes, and supported each other through a strong staff wellbeing pathway. Relationships with parents and carers have never been stronger, thanks to clearer communication and monthly coffee mornings that are now a much‑loved part of the service.

Young people have also played a huge role in shaping the service - sharing their ideas and helping design areas like the ward environment and sensory room. Their involvement has made Emerald Place an even more welcoming and therapeutic space.

Here's to many more years of making a positive difference!

Wellesley Hospital recently hosted its first on‑site Service User Conference - a truly inspiring, co‑produced event that brought together service users, colleagues and guest speakers for a day of connection, creativity and shared achievement.

Led by Georgie Tucker, Patient Engagement Lead, the conference was developed through open, inclusive planning sessions involving both staff and service users. This collaborative approach shaped every part of the day, from the themes and activities to the powerful peer‑led contributions.

𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱:
- Performances from the hospital’s music group
- Poetry readings and even a patient‑produced puppet show
- A wellbeing talk from our dietitian and fitness instructor
- An emotional and motivating session with an Expert by Experience
- Insights from Mind in Somerset on emotional resilience
- Creative breakout sessions in art, drama and compassion‑focused psychology
- A beautiful gratitude installation created from patient artwork and personal messages

More than 60 attendees, including over 30 service users, took part - many helping host, present, run tech and support the event. The day embodied co‑production at its best and reflected our commitment to empowering service users to shape their own experience.

The feedback?
“Uplifting, motivating and full of hope.”

We were delighted to welcome MP Ellie Chowns to Stanley House to highlight the specialist work the team delivers for people living with Huntington’s disease (HD).

Ellie spent time with colleagues, explored our tailored environment and heard directly about the daily challenges faced by people with HD - and why greater national awareness and understanding of the condition is so important.

As one of the UK’s leading centres for Huntington’s care, Stanley House supports people from across the country, focusing on independence, meaningful activity and quality of life.

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, Elysium Healthcare’s Chief People Officer, Lucie Portas, reflects on the women who have shaped her journey - the mentors who offered guidance, the colleagues who have challenged and supported her, and the many women whose resilience and determination continue to inspire her.

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on the women who have shaped my own journey — the mentors who offered guidance, the colleagues who have challenged and supported me, and the many women whose resilience and determination have inspired me.

This month is an important reminder that progress doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because women continue to advocate for one another and push for change, often while balancing many roles both inside and outside of work.

I feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside so many talented women across our organisation who bring expertise, empathy, leadership and fresh perspectives every day. They play a huge part in shaping our culture and moving our business forward. I also want to take this opportunity to recognise and thank our Women’s ERG, who play a pivotal role in creating a welcoming and supportive space where women and allies can access resources, share experiences and grow together.

As the month ends, it’s a good opportunity to pause and recognise the women who have influenced our paths, and to think about how we can continue to support women in the workplace and beyond.

Creating meaningful change isn’t a moment in time, it is something we each have a role in, every day. I look forward to working with you all to continue to lead positive change and champion our amazing role models.

Lucie Portas, Chief People Officer

We’re incredibly proud of Sue Denison, Corporate Expert by Experience at Elysium Healthcare, who recently co-presented at the Royal College of Psychiatrists Faculty of Forensic Psychiatry Conference 2026 in Belfast.

Sue joined Dr Matthew Penn and Dr Mary di Lustro to explore a powerful question: “Can secure services be trauma informed?”

She spoke about the different ways trauma can shape someone’s experience of mental health services. Sue shared how important it is for services to understand these experiences and to avoid unintentionally re‑traumatising the people they support.

Using her own lived experience, she highlighted how difficult it can be to feel safe and trust others in secure environments, explaining: “Life on a ward can be unpredictable… and helping others understand that is key.”

Sue is passionate about trauma‑informed care and the importance of truly listening to those with lived experience. We’re so proud to see her voice shaping conversations at a national level.

Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we’re proud to introduce Elysium’s new 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗸𝗶𝘁, created by our Beyond Differences ERG.

𝗔𝘀 𝗖𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗔𝗯𝗱𝘂𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝘂𝗸𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀:
“We pulled this toolkit together to say: 'We see you, we hear you, and we will protect you.' I hope this provides our teams with the confidence that they are supported by an organisation that refuses to stay silent in

Inside, staff will find guidance on recognising racism, reporting it safely, accessing wellbeing support, and developing allyship and inclusive leadership skills.

Everyone deserves to feel safe and supported at work, and this toolkit helps ensure exactly that.

It’s 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, and we couldn’t think of a better time to celebrate the incredible work of our Elysium catering teams, and some fantastic news from last week’s 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻!

At the first ever 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝘀𝗮𝘆/𝗘𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 competition final, four Elysium chefs went up against four Ramsay chefs. Service users helped with menu planning and dishes were judged on nutrition, sustainability, cost and presentation… and we’re thrilled to say that Elysium took home all three top spots:

𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 – 𝗟𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻
𝟮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 – 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗚𝗶𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗻
𝟯𝗿𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 – 𝗞𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘀

Luke’s delicious Yellow Indonesian Curry and Lemon & Raspberry Éclair will now be featured across Elysium and Ramsay menus!

Nutrition is such an important part of patient care and recovery, and this competition was a brilliant reminder of how our chefs help support healing and wellbeing every day.

Huge congratulations to Luke, Robert, Keith and all our finalists.
