Event Information

The RCPsych Retention Charter and Thrive in Psychiatry - Dr Ananta Dave, NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board, The 外网天堂 

The presentation will cover the key points in the retention charter with specific relevance to SAS doctors, and refer to the self-assessment tool for the charter. I will also describe the highlights of the College's first ever Thrive in Psychiatry campaign, based on the theme of retention.

The Burnout Cliff: And how we step back from it - Dr Richard Duggins - Associate Medical Director for Leadership and Culture; Consultant Psychiatrist in Medical Psychotherapy; Clinical Lead North East and North Cumbria Staff Wellbeing Hub; NHS Practitioner Health

This session takes an honest look at what it really means to stay well as a doctor. Instead of quick fixes or slogans, we’ll explore the lived reality of working in modern medicine, and how burnout and the emotional labour of care can build up quietly over time. Drawing on clinical insights and work with thousands of health professionals, we’ll look at what makes the difference. This is about giving people time and permission to think clearly about their own wellbeing, and how we can look out for each other along the way.
What you’ll take away:
? A clearer understanding of what burnout is, and isn’t
? Practical ways to spot warning signs early and reset before it’s too late

? A space to reflect on what’s sustainable, not just survivable

Data, Race, Chat...what next? - Dr Partha Kar, Portsmouth Hospitals NHS University Trust
