G456(P) Mindful and supported return to clinical practice for paediatric trainees
2019
Overview
BackgroundTime away from clinical practice can impact on a Healthcare professional’s clinical competence, technical skills and confidence. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC)’s 2016 Maternity/Paternity Survey results found a lack of provision of resources to support trainee doctors returning to work. In addition, Health Education England (HEE) reported low confidence, reduced self-perception and lack of pastoral support as the upmost concern for returners.AimsEncourage focus on self-care, resilience and reduce stigma around mental wellbeing for paediatric trainees returning to clinical practice.MethodsWe successfully bid for HEE funds to pay for a psychologist-led session and provide a year’s free subscription to a Mindfulness Meditation app (Headspace®) for trainees attending a return to clinical practice course. Attendees were surveyed prior to and following attendance to the course for their feedback.Results51% (36/60) of trainees redeemed their subscription to Headspace®. 71% of attendees surveyed agreed that they intend to use their Headspace subscription regularly. 96% trainees agreed (42%) or strongly agreed (54%) that they benefitted from the session with the psychologist. In addition, 82% agreed (41%) or strongly agreed (41%) it has made them consider new techniques for managing stress and anxiety.ConclusionTrainees returning to clinical practice benefit from a group-based session from a psychologist prior to their return. These sessions can be successfully incorporated into a return to clinical practice programme. The introduction of self-care techniques and resources such as a subscription to Headspace® are well received. We plan to survey returning trainees 4 months following their return to training to assess long term impact of these interventions.
