Health and Wellbeing
This page has been created to support those working in primary care across Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington.
We aim to help you to prioritise your wellbeing and to ensure that both national and local support is simplified and easily accessible. Whether you work in dentistry, optometry pharmacy, or general practice across North Central London, these resources are for you.
In addition to this page, our newly recruited Health and Wellbeing Lead will ensure your voice is heard and your health and wellbeing needs continue to be met.
If you have questions, comments or would like to discuss wellbeing support for you or your team, please get in touch. Nes Yilmaz – Health and Wellbeing Lead, Neslisan.yilmaz@nhs.net.

This service is available to all our NHS colleagues who have had a tough day, who are feeling worried or overwhelmed, or who have a lot on their mind and need to talk it through.
