Combatting Compassion Fatigue
In this episode, I'm joined by Jayne Ellis of EF Training – the UK's leading provider of Compassion Fatigue Awareness training to the healthcare and animal care sectors.
Jayne tells me all about:
- Her falling into an impromptu role of nurse at the prestigious Royal Ascot.
- Working with the RSPCA and animal welfare initiatives.
- How the problem of compassion fatigue amongst vets is reaching crisis point.
- Why burnout is different from compassion fatigue.
- The simple approaches and training that can transform the emotional wellbeing of workers.
- The problem of perspective that's leading Health and Safety initiatives to forget the important of MENTAL health.
- And more!
Enjoy listening, and catch up with Jayne's super work at https://eftraining.co.uk/.
