In the first six days of 2025, nearly 750,000 emails were delivered at UHD. In the last 30 days, 87 staff have received over 2,000 emails.

Lots of you have told us that you feel overwhelmed by the amount of emails you receive. Too many emails leads to stress and frustration and many of you find it impossible to keep up.

We cannot reduce this pressure unless we work together. 

Please read these tips and complete this short survey to help us understand the impact of too many emails on your work and wellbeing. We will use your feedback to inform our 'Think outside the inbox' campaign. 

Your local hospitals are giving you the chance to put forward staff or volunteers you feel have gone the extra mile for special recognition.
