Last month, 215,000 London NHS employees were invited to start a new journey towards better physical and mental health with Virgin Pulse’s digital wellbeing solution, VP GO.
VP GO, one of Virgin Pulse’s most popular employee wellbeing and engagement programmes, is designed to support employees in all aspects of their physical, mental, social, emotional and financial health. This turnkey solution transforms workforces with fun, friendly, team-based competition to build healthy habits and drive collaboration across organisations.
There’s no question that the NHS has faced unprecedented challenges since COVID-19 took hold. Now, more than ever, its employees need to focus on their mental and physical health as a priority. After all, the healthier NHS employees are, the healthier our nation.
Upon the partnership, the Wellbeing Team at London North West University Healthcare Trust said, “We’re thrilled to be able to get so many of our staff involved in the Virgin Pulse, VP GO programme. Giving staff access to the tools they need to prioritise their own physical and mental health is imperative to making sure our Trust is functioning at its best. We’re committed to investing in our employee wellbeing programme and continuing to support our staff through our partnership with Virgin Pulse.”
Jill King, Executive Director of Virgin Pulse, UKIMEA, said of the Partnership, “Changing people’s lives has always been an immense privilege but to know we’re supporting our treasured NHS after all that they have done to save and protect us is an absolute career highlight”.
While for London NHS staff the journey has just begun, overall VP GO participants made significant improvements to their health in 20201 including:
-
97% of participants increased their ability to cope with stress

80% of participants tracked daily healthy habits and created sustainable lifestyle changes
