 Most of us spend much of our time at work and it is probably one of the most important places we can get guidance and support about living healthier lives.

In South of Tyne and Wear (covering Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland), we believe that promoting better health at work is essential and that employers play a vital role in providing information, guidance and support to help employees make healthier lifestyle choices. 

On this website you can find advice, training information, research and a handy health calendar to help you and your organisation promote better health.  You can also take part in our employer survey to help us find out what topics you are most interested in.

Working in partnership with employers, we aim to help improve the health of our workforce across South of Tyne and Wear to ensure everyone achieves better health at work.
