Persevering Through A Pandemic - 1 - Sick Of COVID

Are you sick of COVID? How have you coped in this pandemic? And what’s it actually felt like to live and work throughout this last two years?   Concerned for the wellbeing of healthcare professionals in the hardest hit ICUs during the COVID-19 pandemic, I interviewed a group of clinicians previously featured on the podcast. With an emphasis on personal wellbeing, I aimed to uncover their feelings, their struggles, their perspectives and their take-aways from this prolonged global healthcare crisis. My hope is to help you to reflect on and to process your own pandemic experience and to hear lessons you might take away to your Intensive Care community. In this first episode of a series focusing on Intensive Care clinician wellbeing during the pandemic, you’ll hear the voices of Dr Laura Rock, Dr Peter Brindley and Dr Wes Ely. Thank you for listening to these wise and thoughtful Intensive Care clinicians tell you how they’ve been “Persevering Through A Pandemic”.   Andrew Davies   --------------------   About the Mastering Intensive Care podcast: The podcast aims to inspire and empower Intensive Care clinicians through conversations about the human side of Intensive Care to bring their best selves to work by focusing on compassion, collaboration and personal wellbeing.   --------------------   Links to featured guests Dr Laura Rock Dr Laura Rock on Twitter @drlaurarock Dr Laura Rock – Previous episode on Mastering Intensive Care Dr Peter Brindley Dr Peter Brindley on Twitter @docpgb Dr Peter Brindley – Previous episode on Mastering Intensive Care Dr Wes Ely Dr Wes Ely on Twitter @WesElyMD Book "Every Deep-Drawn Breath" (by Wes Ely) Dr Wes Ely – Previous episode on Mastering Intensive Care   Links related to Mastering Intensive Care podcast Mastering Intensive Care podcast Mastering Intensive Care page on Facebook Mastering Intensive Care at Life In The Fast Lane Andrew Davies on Twitter: @andrewdavies66 Andrew Davies on Instagram: @andrewdavies66 Andrew Davies on LinkedIn Email Andrew Davies Audio Producer Chris Burke Burke Sound & Media
