Foreword

The prevalence and burden of chronic disease in Ireland has been well established. In response the HSE is moving towards a morepreventive model of healthcare. The HSE has identified ‘promoting health and wellbeing as part of everything we do so that peoplewill be healthier’ as its number one goal. This, in combination with the establishment of a National Health and Wellbeing Divisionand the development of the Healthy Ireland Framework, provides a platform for a culture change across the health services.

Saolta has led the way in Ireland with the publication and delivery of its Healthy Ireland Implementation plan 2015-2017. One ofthe key actions in the plan was to develop a resource to support the health and wellbeing of staff and patients and build capacityto implement health and wellbeing activity. This has now come to fruition.

We hope this new resource will contribute to the three goals of the national Healthy Ireland Implementation Plan of improving staffhealth and wellbeing, reducing the burden of chronic disease and reforming the health services.

Our plan offers a wide range of staff supports for physical and mental health. It provides many health and wellbeing trainingopportunities for staff within the hospital group and in the community. The plan also lists a range of health and wellbeing servicesavailable for our patients. This section in particular will be helpful to staff in identifying health and wellbeing supports for our patients.

We hope you find this plan of value and we thank our all of our partners for their contributions.
