Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for healthcare

Healthcare teams hold everyone else together, often while running on empty themselves: 41% of NHS staff felt unwell from work-related stress in the past year alone. Spill gives hospitals, GP surgeries, clinics and digital health companies a way to give something back, with same-day counselling that fits around shifts, on-call and nights, and specialists in trauma, grief and burnout.

Proudly supporting healthcare teams across the UK

Who cares for the people who do the caring?

Healthcare staff carry the cumulative emotional weight of patient suffering, loss and high-stakes clinical decisions, all while working under chronic short-staffing and long shifts. It's a combination that pushes burnout and work-related stress well above the rates seen in most other professions.

Burnout at work

30% of NHS staff often or always feel burnt out because of work, rising to nearly 40% of ambulance staff. (NHS Staff Survey, 2024)

Made unwell by stress

41% of NHS staff felt unwell in the past year as a result of work-related stress. (NHS Staff Survey, 2024)

Trainees at risk

63% of trainee doctors are at moderate or high risk of burnout. (GMC National Training Survey, 2024)

Healthier staff, safer care

Poor wellbeing and turnover cost the NHS alone an estimated £12bn a year, and every clinician lost to burnout takes years of training with them. Spill helps you deal with the pressure before it becomes absence or resignation.

Protect against compassion fatigue

Help staff process the emotional weight of caring for others before it turns into exhaustion.

Keep minds on the job

Supported staff have more attention and patience for the people who depend on them.

Reduce mental health sick days

Same-day support helps issues get dealt with early, before they become absence.
