Our Listening Space can be found just outside the Jubilee Wing (at the opposite end of the Peter Smith Surgery Centre car park).
To gain access to the space, you will need access to be added to your ID card. To obtain this, please visit the Facilities reception in ECC or Windy Nook.
Our listening space is a dedicated health and wellbeing area, aimed at offering our colleagues with a dedicated space to decompress.
As well as hosting suitable health and wellbeing events and activities, the listening space is there to provide you with a space to share your problems and chat to a listening ear. You might visit to meet a mental health first aider for a chat, find out where to access targeted support from a member of the health and wellbeing team or chat with one of our POD colleagues around a work-related issue that is troubling you.
The space will also be deliberately empty at times – providing staff with a space to decompress and reflect when needed.
Our listening space is there to be used at any time and can be accessed by scanning your ID card – but please note that you will first require access to be added to your ID card at ECC reception or via Facilities.
In certain instances, space within the facility may be limited due to events or activities. We will always do our best to accommodate any visitors, but please note that there may be some occasions where such activities make squeezing any more people in unavoidable due to health and safety reasoning.
Please note that at times, the facility will be unmanned. We ask all visitors to please help us in maintaining a comfortable, enjoyable and relaxing space by keeping the facility tidy and leaving it as you would like to find it.
While it is our hope that colleagues will feel comfortable in using and visiting our listening space for health and wellbeing matters, we must stress that the facility is not there as somewhere to take breaks or hold meetings.
Sensitive conversations are likely to take place in the space – a shared facility, and so unfortunately the space will not be suitable for these occasions.
The priority of this space is to aid the mental and psychological health and wellbeing of our colleagues, and while we understand a comfortable environment plays a part in that, we would ask you take advantage of our work in other areas if you’re looking to find a bright place to hold a meeting or enjoy lunch.
If you'd like to book the Listening Space, please contact the health and wellbeing team via the button below. Please note that bookings are subject to both availability and suitability.
You can request a booking, but this is subject both to availability of the space and suitability of what you are looking to use the space for. All enquiries should be directed to the health and wellbeing team on [email protected].
Our health and wellbeing listening space can be found outside of the Jubilee Wing – or at the opposite end of the car park when entering the Peter Smith Surgery Centre.
A ramp will be installed before our space opens to ensure all colleagues can gain access to the space.
Entry to our listening space comes via swiping your ID card. Please visit the Facilities reception in ECC or Windy Nook if you need to have the listening space added to your access areas.
Our first listening space arrived on site at the QE Hospital in May 2022. Unfortunately at this time, we do not have a dedicated listening space at other sites. However, this is something the health and wellbeing team are constantly exploring the viability of, and discussions will remain ongoing as to how we can create equity across sites.
In the meantime, colleagues from our other sites are more than welcome to visit or book the space.
