Wellbeing Initiatives
Our people have access to information, support and healthy choices to improve their overall wellbeing. Our Promoting Health Initiatives Working Group identifies and supports health promotion events throughout the year for the Pegasus Health team, and also our clients (general practices teams).
Pegasus provides:
- An annual wellness subsidy to contribute towards your wellbeing.
- Annual flu vaccination.
- An annual wellness check with your general practitioner.
- Free after hours care at the Pegasus Health 24 Hour Surgery when your general practice is not available.
- Occupational counselling programme that provides confidential assistance and support to our people who are seeking help with personal work problems.
- If you love your daily cycle commute (or just every now and then), we have end of trip facilities, a locked bike park, and showers and lockers at Pegasus House.
Connection
Connection is one of our values. Our people told us that building connections through shared interests and social events is important and essential. You can connect with others by joining our Pegasus communities, Pets of Pegasus, Plant Lovers, and Book lovers or start one of your own.
The Social Committee organises regular social activities such as quiz night; BBQ’s; and movie nights, and also supports community wellbeing initiatives such as Movember.
Environmental sustainability
Pegasus is committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. We are on a crucial journey to understand and address climate change within our area of influence and primary care. There are many opportunities amongst the many challenges.
