Mullin said: “We are unwavering in our commitment to staff well-being.
“All employees have access to clinical supervision and resilience-based support, ensuring they are equipped to manage the challenges of front-line healthcare.
“In addition, we are in the process of embedding a network of trained mental health first aiders across the organisation to foster open conversations about mental health and to provide clear pathways to appropriate support.”
To further strengthen their approach, HSC is recruiting a violence prevention and reduction advisor – a role that will lead a review of current training, education and support systems in place for staff.
He added: “Violence and aggression will never be tolerated. HSC stands firmly behind its staff and will take decisive action to safeguard their safety, dignity, and well-being.”
