Shownotes

Burnout is a widespread system issue that significantly impacts healthcare professionals today. The consequences are far-reaching, contributing to a healthcare system in crisis as professionals leave their jobs or struggle to continue in increasingly overwhelming conditions.

How can we address this pervasive issue? What is getting in our way? Is it a matter of knowing what to do, a lack of resources, or an issue of values and culture? How can we move beyond simple, often ineffective get-well fixes?

In this episode, we engage with Dr. Dayna Lee-Baggley, a Registered Clinical Psychologist and an internationally recognised expert in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to explore burnout and learn what healthcare leaders and organisations can do to facilitate meaningful changes that can reduce burnout and improve the well-being of all those involved in the care process.

Tune in to this enlightening episode for practical advice, scientific insights, and a compassionate look at one of the most pressing issues in healthcare today.
