Rachel, who works in a partnership role with Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and ELFT’s Bedfordshire Community Health Services (BCHS) community health psychology service, has been a guest on the popular When Work Hurts podcast hosted by Dr Paula Redmond.
The latest podcast series has been commissioned by the Association for Clinical Psychologists UK, exploring how psychologists can inform staff health and wellbeing through compassion, creativity and connection.
Paula talks to Rachel about the Take heART project she has helped found within the hospital and how other NHS teams and services can get started with their own creative ideas to support staff wellbeing.
Rachel has also written a supporting blog on the subject.
Links to both the podcast and the blog are available below.
