Podcast: Wellbeing in the NHS and how to develop mental resilience

Talking General Practice speaks to Dr Farnaaz Sharief, a GP and chief executive of Manage your Mind, an organisation which provides training on mental resilience to NHS and social care staff.

In this episode Farnaaz talks about mental wellbeing in the NHS, what mental resilience means and why it is so important.

She also has lots of practical advice on how people can boost their mental resilience to help them cope with stress and pressures - both inside and outside work, how to support friends and colleagues experiencing stress, what practices and organisations can do to promote wellbeing, and the role coaching can play.

This episode was presented by GPonline editor Emma Bower. It was produced by Czarina Deen.
