Ep 17: Five Things About The 14 Day Self Care Challenge

In this episode, Liz and Jesse preview the 14 day RBWH self-care challenge that starts on February 13th. This is a labour of love from Liz and engaged hundreds of staff last year. The aim is to spread far and wide and help health care professionals test out and try a range of evidence based principles for improved personal wellbeing that are pragmatic and realistic to the unique work / life environments of our jobs.

If you miss the start on the 13th of Feb, you and your team can pick up the challenge and run it at any time.

Liz’s Five Things:

1. Our work is not normal.
2. Healthcare is one industry that never stops, we can’t ground the plane.
3. Self-care is patient care.
4. We are what we repeatedly do.
5. Our team is huge a reason for and a potentially powerful source of wellbeing and resilience.
