Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of joining the Southern GP Federation Support Unit, Armagh and Dungannon GP Federation Education Practice-Based Learning (PBL) event, delivering a workshop on A Mindful Approach to Managing Stress.
It was great to meet the teams there and see such positive engagement from everyone who took part.
We explored the psychology behind stress, how to recognise our own early signs of pressure, and how simple mindfulness and breathing techniques can help us pause, respond rather than react, and look after our health and wellbeing.
A big thank you to the Federation for inviting me along to support their non-clinical team and especially and Dr Orla Fitzsimmons for the invitation and Linda Murphy for organising such a great event. It was a pleasure to be involved!
Supporting the people who keep our health services running is so important, and it was lovely to spend time with such an engaged group.
