The PSWS is pleased to be able to offer a range of events that Faculties and Trusts can book to be provided for their trainees and staff. In some cases these events are funded by PSWS, others though will require separate funding arrangements to be agreed.
Our Survive and Thrive programme for trainees has been running for three years now and has been delivered for a wide range of specialities. The programme offers a chance for participants to take time to reflect on their individual responses to stress and take away some practical ideas for how they might make small changes to improve their wellbeing.
“The whole day was useful. Great to know I am not the only junior doctor who has the concerns, thoughts and worries that we discussed. It was a pleasant change to be in an environment where any complaints or observations weren’t seen as professional weakness – it is sometimes tiring being viewed as a competent junior doctor because you feel as though you cannot complain.”
“A well planned and structured day. It was nicely engaging, but not the point where you had to contribute if you didn’t want to. Everyone was friendly and considerate. I felt I learned a lot and I have taken a lot of tools away to use in times of need from the day. I would definitely recommend this day to my colleagues.”
Café coaching offers the opportunity to develop an understanding of coaching and experience a short coaching sessions for yourself. With a team of experienced coaches you have the opportunity to be coached on a topic or problem of your choosing and to feel the sense of empowerment that eve a brief coaching intervention can create.

We can also offer standalone workshops for Educators and Trainees to start the conversation around wellbeing and support. This workshop explains the support that the PSWS can offer and signposts to other resources that might also be helpful.
