Schwartz Round - 23 March: “Caring for yourself matters more than ever.” This forum is designed for all staff to come together online, to discuss, listen and reflect on the emotional challenges that we are currently experiencing.

Endometriosis Awareness Month: March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and the Staff Wellbeing team is supporting Endometriosis UK Campaign to help raise awareness, end the stigma and break the taboo of this long term condition.

The team are hosting a talk tomorrow on endometriosis with Clare Knox from See Her Thrive at 12:30pm via MS Teams. This talk is open to everyone working within the Trust - it is for anyone who wants to know more about endometriosis and how best support either yourself, or your colleague, friend or family member. If you would like to attend please contact Sarah Osborn at dchst.engagment@nhs.net.

Dates for wellbeing training in March and April are here. We've summarised some of the available sessions below:

Personal Power: Sometimes a good dose of self-compassion and a boost to reignite what’s already within us can make all the difference to our confidence and self-esteem. True confidence is about conquering the intangible fears we face on a daily basis, and the best news? All these can be learned.

Beating Burnout: How much energy do you feel able to bring to your work currently? How much is left for your personal life? Join us for 90-minutes as we explore the topics of burnout and compassion fatigue, increasing our understanding of our current energy levels and identifying strategies to recharge our batteries.

Way To Wellbeing: If you are interested in finding out some hints and tips to boost your health and wellbeing then this is the training for you. With plenty of opportunity for discussion this training will act as a timely check-in for anyone who feels like they need to go back to basics.
