Balancing Training and Well-being Workshops
HEE East of England is pleased to offer this workshop to all trainees focusing on balancing the demands of work, training and personal life. We know that training can be a stressful and anxiety provoking time. There are many competing demands; work, placements, exams, ARCP’S, portfolios, research, papers, family/ friends and home life commitments (to name a few). This workshop will introduce a psychological model which will support trainees to reflect on the current demands of their work and training, and the impact that this might be having. We will utilise the model to both normalise challenges often faced on training, and also identify small changes that can support trainees to achieve and sustain a sense of balance, that is often crucial for our wellbeing.
