Organisation kindness

Cooper, Nicola; Evans, Barry

Abstract

Book abstract:

For the healthcare professional, clinical resilience is about reconnecting with those stirrings which first motivated us to spend a career in the service of others. It is about recovering and maintaining the 'joy of practice' which nourishes and satisfies our curiosity about the uniqueness of every person in our care. Being a resilient practitioner is essential for our personal wellbeing and also for the safety of our patients, who depend on our ability to optimise our physical and cognitive performance. Yet many healthcare professionals report experiencing burnout.

ABC of Clinical Resilience summarises current evidence on how cognitive performance and wellbeing of healthcare professionals are affected by the emotional context of providing care and the organisational culture of working environments. As well as considering impacts of individuals and teams, we also consider how resilience can be recovered for the benefit of everyone.
