Join me for the 3rd episode of DYNH as I discuss what Imposter Syndrome is, some of the myths around Imposter syndrome, how we experience Imposter Syndrome as medics, and what you can do to tackle it both at work and as an individual.  

My challenge to you is to take one of the techniques for managing Imposter Syndrome at the end of the podcast, and to implement it this week.  Please let me know how you get on if you chose to do so.  There is an option for sending voice notes through my Anchor page which I will link here: https://anchor.fm/doyourselfnoharm

Or, please tag me on socials.  I'm mostly found on Instagram @drclaireashley 

My subscription box and membership for medics is now up and running, and you can find out more about it on my website Do Yourself No Harm

Welcome to the second episode of my new podcast, Do Yourself No Harm.

I’m Dr Claire Ashley, and I am a GP, burnout survivor and mental health advocate. For today’s episode I discuss the importance of compassion and humanism in medicine with Dr Laura Vater, a US based oncologist.

Humanism and compassion in medicine is not just about improving patient care and our relationship with patients, it’s also about enhancing and improving the clinician experience, and improving recruitment and retention. In this podcast we also talk about how COVID has changed our jobs, how the impact of sleep deprivation and lack of physical and mental rest affects us, and we also discuss the impact of poor staffing and issues with recruitment and retention.  Dr Vater also shares her SMILE scale, which is an evidence based tool to help us prioritise our physical and mental health. 

I hope you enjoy our chat today, and if you do please hit like, subscribe and leave a review.

The first episode of the Do Yourself No Harm podcast is about the biggest lessons I've learnt during my burnout recovery as a doctor in the NHS:

1. What burnout is

2. The causes of burnout and the elephant in the room

3. Why prevention is better than cure

4. Why recovery is so hard

5. Do not do it alone

If you are a current NHS worker and this topic is something that you identify with, then you can access help for mental health problems and burnout through the oraganisations that I've linked below:

NHS Practitioner Health - support for doctors and dentists

Welcome to the trailer for my brand new podcast for healthcare professionals, Do Yourself No Harm. 

I am GP and burnout survivor.  In this trailer I explain the reasons for setting up this podcast, why I'm doing it now, and what to expect in the upcoming episodes.  

We will be covering a variety of topics to include anything and everything to do with mental health, mental wellbeing, personal growth, professional growth, careers, how to create a career that works for you (either within the NHS or outside of it) and medical working culture and problems.

I am thrilled to be launching this podcast alongside my brand new subscription and membership for healthcare professionals. Further details about this can be found over on my website, doyourselfnoharm.com.

I am incredibly excited to finally be getting this project off the ground. It’s been a long time in the making.
