The Wellbeing Line

04/09/2025

A new way to access INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT from The Wellbeing Line!
Do you work in health or social care in Gloucestershire?
The Wellbeing Line is an NHS staff support hub that supports your mental health and wellbeing.
From 1st September there will be another way you can access support from The Wellbeing Line – through our BOOKABLE SYSTEM.
This can be accessed from our website: https://thewellbeingline.co.uk/contact-us/
You will be able to choose from a number of available options to book telephone support at a time convenient for you.

The Wellbeing Line continues to support staff working in health and care across Gloucestershire through the direct access helpline – 0300 421 7500.
We also have a callback option, enabling people to request a callback without a set appointment and The Wellbeing Line will contact them at our earliest availability - https://thewellbeingline.co.uk/callme/.

Since The Wellbeing Line opened in October 2021, we have provided individual support to over 700 members of staff.
100% of individuals who contact us are responded to within two working days, with 80% being responded to same day.
Individuals who have been supported by The Wellbeing Line gave us an average rating of 9.2/10 for how satisfied they were with the service.
No problem is too small. Selfcare is not Selfish.
