To the Cork Kerry Community Staff Health & Wellbeing
What a year has gone by! 2020 will be long remembered for many reasons, not least the valiance and dedication of our staff in the face of a global pandemic. The photographs in this report document month by month some of the events, activities and services developed. I hope you feel pride as I do when you see familiar faces beaming out. Staff support for each other was a key component in delivering services in 2020. My office provided an initiative to enhance this support through the Healthy Ireland Healthy Campus / Workplace initiative and awarded over 40 grants to committees established to improve workplace environments and activities from a Health & Wellbeing perspective. I hope you will see some of these changes this year and that they will feature in our calendar next year (please send in your photos). Look out for our staff Health & Wellbeing newsletter which is distributed monthly by internal email. You will find lots of great articles in it and the latest Health and Wellbeing updates. We know the year gone by has been stressful for many and have developed support resources for staff at hse.ie/corkkerryhealthyireland. I look forward to 2021 with hope for our staff, and service users.
Once you choose hope anything is possible (Christopher Reeve).

P A G E 3 3 Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Flu Campaign
This winter, the flu vaccine is more important than ever and we’re asking everyone to sign up to the “CKCH Fighting Flu” pledge. This video features some of our teams and staff who have already signed up.
We all want to keep the people we work with safe, and none of us wants to bring the deadly flu virus home. That’s why teams are signing up to our “Fighting Flu pledge” pledge and promising to work towards the highest ever uptake of the vaccine by staff. Every team who signs up can request a certificate by email.
Here’s what you can do:
Once your team has agreed to take the “CKCH Fighting Flu pledge”, email Marcella Keating, [email protected] and she can send you a certificate. She can also email you a poster which you can print and display so that you can let the public know you’ve signed up. Tweet with the hastag #ckchfightingflu and the Cork Kerry Community Healthcare Twitter account will retweet you. If your team or workplace record a short video to celebrate the fact that you have signed up to the #ckchfightingflu pledge, contact Communications Manager Mary Smithwick on [email protected] to arrange for it to be shared.
Remember that every time a Cork Kerry Community Healthcare staff member gets their free flu vaccine, we will donate five full Polio vaccines to UNICEF (10 doses), to be administered in the developing world.
