Saturday Address:

How to ditch the superhero and be more super-human"

In health and social care currently, many of us are experiencing overwhelming workloads due to unlimited patient demand, lack of funding and staff shortages. Healthcare professionals are often described as 'heros', but when we feel squeezed on all sides, and can't give our patients the time and level of service that they need we beat ourselves up, feel frustrated and guilty which adds to the vicious cycle of stress and overwhelm. In this talk, we'll examine the unhelpful 'hero' mindsets we can find ourselves in, which cause us to ignore our human limits and become exhausted and burned out. We'll explore how to think differently about our professional roles so that we can feel calmer get control of our workload and thrive rather than just survive at work.

Dr Rachel Morris is former GP who now helps doctors and other professionals in high stress, high stakes jobs beat burnout and work happier.  Rachel is the host of the Apple Top 100 UK Business Chart podcast ‘You Are Not a Frog’ and creator of the Shapes Toolkit Resilience Training Programme.

For many years, Rachel taught General Practice and led the Professionalism Programme at the University of Cambridge where she was also a tutor for the PGCert in Medical Education. She also co-created and presented the Red Whale Lead. Manage. Thrive! Course for Primary Care.
Rachel knows what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and one crisis away from not coping. She believes that you don’t need to dramatically change careers to thrive in your 9-5 (or 8-8) but by thinking differently, you can make deliberate choices to feel calmer, get some time and headspace and love what you do again.
