Like many NHS staff, burnout has been a challenge I've faced due to chronic and excessive workloads.

It's crucial for NHS organisations to address burnout to ensure staff wellbeing and high-quality patient care is sustainable.

Sinking time and money into mindfulness apps and resilience training ignores the real problem: workplace stress - leaders should focus on taking away stressors. See https://t.co/0pfEYSESmP @SOMNews

@samaritans You're doing a fine job in changing Blue Monday into Brew Monday and encouraging people seek out friends or loved ones for a cup of tea or coffee and a catch-up, especially if they are feeling down ☕️💚

[Eric Barratt @Eric_Barratt]

🔵 or ☕?

For 2024 #BlueMonday, supposedly the most depressing day of the year, falls on 15th January

Started by @samaritans #BrewMonday takes a more positive spin, encouraging people to reach out to others and get together over ‘a brew’.

With the colder weather persisting, it can be hard maintain fitness goals. Luckily, I've found a great solution that keeps me active - swimming! 🏊‍♀️

@Swim_England's PoolFinder tool is an excellent resource for finding a (heated) pool or club near you.
