The Peer Support is a team of voluntary staff nurses within the DCCM who are available to provide colleagues with a non-judgemental, informal and confidential peer support network - a bridge over troubled waters.  Peer Support team members can be identified by the "gold rose" on their staff ID badge.  There is also a designated notice board within the department where information and updates are displayed. 

Twice each month the peer support team hold "Support Breaks".  These are informal meetings where there is an opportunity for staff to meet with their peers and talk and debrief on issues relevant to working in this high acuity area. 

The Peer Support Team is highly valued in the DCCM for the way in which they provide confidential support to staff.
