NHS England are pleased to announce the publication of the updated health and wellbeing guardian guidance.
This guidance has been revised following extensive consultation with health and wellbeing guardians and wider stakeholders and reflects the evolution of the function of a health and wellbeing guardian as this essential leadership function continue to embed across healthcare organisations.
The NHSE health and wellbeing guardian webpages have also been updated to reflect these changes.

The guidance consists of a main central guidance document supported by five appendices providing tailored guidance to ICB, provider and primary care organisations (appendices 2,3 and 4 respectively) in addition to summary of the health and wellbeing guardian evaluation (appendix 1) and a further document (appendix 5) outlining the support available to health and wellbeing guardians and those who support them in their position.
