Wellbeing at Med-Co...
Working in Secure Environments can be incredibly rewarding when you are caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our Society and making a real difference to their lives. We believe that everyone working at Med-Co plays an important role in helping our patients, regardless of their role.
With that said, we know it can also be extremely tough and a little exhausting at times, both physically and mentally. To best support our Teams, we get to know all our staff through regular communication and expert staff are available for support and advice at any time of day or night.
To prove our commitment to health and wellbeing, Med-Co Group:
- has committed to Mind’s ‘6 Mental Health at Work Commitments‘.
- developed a mental health toolkit for Staff to promote mental health awareness.
- has easily accessible, trained Health & Wellbeing Champions to support all Staff.
- provides all Staff with ongoing mental health training, free access to accredited e-learning, funded CPD opportunities and a number of online health and wellbeing resources, (in our Secure Staff Area).
- offers flexible working hours, remote work options, and generous leave policies, designed to help employees balance their professional and personal lives effectively.

How we can help your Team...
In addition to providing Clients with turnkey healthcare services, we also assist them with Mental Health and Wellbeing training, tailored specifically to supporting healthcare and custody Staff in secure environments.
Online Resources & Workshops
Based on an intimate knowledge and understanding of the secure healthcare sector, our practical online workshops and events can help Staff learn to recognise and (more importantly!) to cope with the day to day pressures and stressors they may encounter working in secure environments, whilst also safeguarding colleagues and co-workers.
In-Person Training Courses
Covering a range of health and wellbeing topics, our practical training courses, facilitated by experienced mental health experts, will give your Staff the opportunity to explore mental health issues and risks, reflect on wellbeing and identify sources of support, in a safe, relaxed, confidential and professional learning environment.
Toolkits & Learning Materials
We have developed various useful tools and resources for Staff and Patients, from stress packs to awareness raising videos. Our resources are designed by experienced learning professionals, with input from senior Clinicians and Leaders, who all have a specialist interest in safeguarding mental health and wellbeing.
