Preparing for Deployment

#NHSLTLC #moralinjury #psychologicalwellbeing

This is one of a series of films to help healthcare workers think through some of the emotional and psychological challenges that may arise especially, but not limited, to a pandemic. Please see the supportive materials below.

Reflective questions:
What are the transferrable skills you brought to the unfamiliar environment that you were working within the pandemic? ​
How can 'safe space to share feelings' be created within your workplace? 
What are your thoughts about delegation in the clinical environment?
How has watching this film changed the way you think about of mental health in the workplace?
