006: Self-Care in Healthcare with Tracy Churchill

Burnout sometimes happens to the people who love their jobs so passionately that they lose sight of everything else. Nurses and healthcare professionals are some of the professionals who fit this description. 

It is innate for healthcare professionals and nurses to care for other people, sometimes putting the health, safety, and wellness of their patients before their own. When nurses are given support to be healthy, they are able to perform better and give patient-care at the highest level. 

In this episode, Tracy Churchill shares how leaders in the healthcare profession can have a healthy work environment - physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

Through the Homebound Huddle Practice - an end-of-day routine for teams at work, you can create an inviting and healthier work environment and increase your resilience.
