Nursing Standard podcast: how nurses can protect their own well-being – even in a crisis

In this special podcast, RCNi senior nurse editor Richard Hatchett and guests Daniel Madigan, Caroline Barratt and Dan Martin, discuss burnout, mindfulness and how to stay fit

What is burnout and how do you identify the signs in yourself and others? And can mindfulness and keeping fit enhance the well-being of nurses in their daily lives?

These questions and more are answered in the latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast.

We hear from Daniel Madigan, senior lecturer in performance psychology at York St John University who explores burnout, while Caroline Barratt from the University of Essex discusses the benefits of mindfulness and how you can achieve it. 

Finally, Dan Martin, lecturer in sports therapy at the University of Wales, Trinity St David, offers top tips on keeping fit generally, and especially now in the COVID-19 pandemic, with the challenges of work and children in lockdown.
