Practical wellbeing centre
Useful tools for the way transport work really feels.
Pick a practical place to start, whether that is a difficult shift, food on the road, a conversation you need to have, physical comfort, sleep, money worries or finding the right support.
DriverWell provides general education, optional private tools and signposting for the whole transport workforce. It does not diagnose a condition, prescribe an exercise or treatment plan, or decide whether someone is fit for safety-critical work.
Safety and suitability boundary
Stop and seek appropriate medical help if an activity causes pain, breathlessness, dizziness or another concerning symptom. Use a qualified clinician or occupational-health professional for individual advice. Call 999 if there is immediate danger.
