This interactive presentation will explore the current state of mental health and wellbeing among healthcare workers, highlighting the prevalence and impact of workplace stress, burnout, and psychological distress. We will examine some of the underlying causes of these challenges and discuss practical strategies that can help address them.
The session will then focus on mindfulness as an important component of the solution, reviewing the evidence base for its effectiveness in healthcare settings. Participants will be introduced to two brief mindfulness exercises that can be incorporated into daily clinical and personal routines. The presentation will conclude with an opportunity for discussion, questions, and experiential part.
I hope to share this with you at the webinar on the 10th November.
