 Registration is closed for this event

   

FREE for SOM Members (please log in on the SOM website first). 

What will be covered: 

In this talk Dr Daniels will talk through her most recent research on workforce wellbeing, the Psychologically Informed Practice and Policy (PiPP) study which explores the current challenges faced by those working in emergency medicine, and the barriers and opportunities for change. For more than a decade, emergency medicine has struggled with staff retention, and despite many published guidelines, the problem has only deepened.  Where does the responsibility lie?

This study was completed in collaboration with the Royal College of Emergency Medicine and funded by UKRI and University of Bath.
