Welcome to the latest episode of the Joyful Doctor Podcast! 

In this episode, Caroline continues a special series of COVID-19 podcasts aimed at supporting doctors through these exceptionally challenging times.  This episode explores the challenges that many doctors experience of bullying and harassment in medicine through COVID in the weeks and months to come... Caroline chats with Dr Adam Harrison - a GP and medical leader giving top tips in challenging times.

In this episode Caroline and Dr Rachel Morris (of You are Not a Frog podcast fame), share some of their toughest times as doctors and how they came to build their "Permission to Thrive" community - to help overwhelmed doctors find a friendly and safe space to focus on their own wellbeing - whilst racking up some easy CPD points along the way!

Top tips:

If you feel like you are carrying a burden, remember you can always put it down, even just for a short while.

Remember you are doing the best you can.

Stay in your zone of power. Figure out what is in your control and what is not. Focus on the things you can control and forget about those things you can't.

In this episode, Caroline chats with Capt Emma Henderson - a pilot who founded the wonderful Project Wingman charity to support NHS staff wellbeing during the pandemic.  Over 90 Project Wingman lounges have sprung up in hospitals across the UK in the past year - providing a non-judgemental space for all NHS staff to land, during and after their hospital shifts. Caroline and Emma reflect on how the COVID-19 pandemic has turned life upside down both personally and professionally for so many, and how helpful grounded aircrew can be to the modern NHS workforce.

Top tips:  

If you are struggling to stay afloat, reach out and hook your anchor onto someone strong.

You don’t have to be miserable all the time in order to get help. It’s ok to say “I’m not coping, but in ten minutes I’m going to be fine.  I just need a little help right now.”

Give yourself permission to look after yourself.
