An interactive session!  Come and be challenged, inspired and share your wisdom. 

Burnout is a major issue for health professionals.  How do we meet the challenge for ourselves and our colleagues?  How do we regain our enthusiasm for our work?

In this workshop Dr Chris Cresswell, emergency medicine physician and supervisor and mentor to many junior doctors, will lead discussion of real cases and exercises (but no role plays!):

• recognising burnout in ourselves and others
• practical strategies for ourselves and colleagues to prevent and manage burnout including
  • changing senior colleagues' behaviour 
  • changing health professional culture
  • meditation
  • sleep optimisation
  • life style changes
  • exercise
  • peer support

 The workshop will then move onto strategies for creating a healthy team and workplace and more satisfying and effective interactions with our patients - with a particular focus on the application of mindfulness techniques in real world situations. 

 You will come out refreshed and inspired.  Chris' enthusiasm is infectious!
