Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for pharmacies
Community pharmacies are supposed to take pressure off the rest of the system. Instead, the pressure keeps landing on them: rising prescription volumes, patients with nowhere else to turn and a workforce shortage that never seems to ease. Spill gives pharmacy teams same-day therapy that fits around opening hours, with counsellors who specialise in burnout, from £75 a month for the whole team.

Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

What's really weighing on pharmacy teams
41% of NHS staff felt unwell in the past year as a result of work-related stress (NHS Staff Survey, 2024). Community pharmacy carries a familiar version of that strain: relentless prescription volume, patients bringing their frustration to the counter, and too few colleagues to share it with.
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)
Support that keeps your pharmacy running
A pharmacist who can offload to a therapist this week, not next month, makes fewer errors and takes fewer sick days. Supported teams also stay, which matters when replacements are so hard to find.

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.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A confidential space for clinical and non-clinical staff to decompress with a fully qualified therapist, including specialists in trauma and grief. Same-day sessions fit around shifts and on-call, with no waiting lists or referral forms.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures healthcare workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to grief, trauma and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.
