COVID-19 impact on training, morale and wellbeing
30 March 2020
As the response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the bodies involved in delivery of postgraduate training in anaesthesia and intensive care medicine are working together to prepare for an interruption in the normal training environment.

Chief Medical Officers and Deans across the four Nations as well as the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the General Medical Council are committed to minimising the impact of this exceptional working on the progression of anaesthetists in training and will be putting together plans to manage this.
Supporting the COVID-19 response: guidance regarding medical education and training
Consideration of wellbeing

It is important that anaesthetists in training and trainers work together to ensure everyone is safe, that those in training continue to be supervised at a level appropriate to grade and that proper induction is in place if anaesthetists in training are asked to work outside their normal environment. If normal rotas are altered, these should continue to be compliant.

We would expect that trusts will make arrangements to ensure 24-hour access to refreshments for all staff including anaesthetists in training. They should also prioritise considerations around travel to and from the hospital, access to rest facilities and regular debriefing. Teams should ensure that all staff and particularly anaesthetists in training have an opportunity to share difficult experiences and receive appropriate mentorship to support their own psychological well-being and that of the team. Some useful resources can be found below.

Learn mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and improve performance

Stressed by the pace of modern life? Mindfulness might be the answer.

Mindfulness can help end this unproductive behaviour. In this online course, you'll learn how to incorporate mindfulness practices into your life, to reduce stress and improve your personal and professional life.

Mindfulness seems to be everywhere today. We find it in schools, in universities, in hospitals, in military academies. We find it in board rooms and parliament buildings. For some it's a therapy, for others a technology and for some it's a lifestyle choice. Tens of millions of people admit to practicing it in North America alone. Mindfulness seems to be whatever we need it to be. It emerges into the public discourse like a mystical panacea from the ancient East, the cure for all the ills of contemporary societies. But what actually is it? Fundamental research into Mindfulness in various disciplines in the sciences, and the social sciences, and the humanities has grown exponentially in the last decade or so.

Researchers are attempting to provide an evidence base for what Mindfulness does to people, as well as a conceptual base for what Mindfulness might actually be. When we say that someone is a mindful person, what are we saying about that person? When people call for mindful society, do they really know what such a society would be like? And would you want to live in it? Based partially in experiential learning, this course aims to give you the theoretical and practical skills to understand and to critically assess Mindfulness in its various forms for yourself. Encompassing its ancient traditions and cutting edge science, this course seeks to de-mystify Mindfulness as a technology for life in the 21st century.

Whether you're entirely new to Mindfulness, looking for clarity, or an experienced practitioner looking for some more depth. Whether you're a Mindfulness teacher looking to broaden your understanding or a therapist looking to diversify your knowledge. No matter who you are, I hope this unusual course has something to offer you.
