Ep 207 - Burnout with Liz Crowe

The St.Emlyn’s Podcast

Burnout is a term that seems to be used a lot these days, but what does it really mean? In this episode Dr Liz Crowe explains all, and will almost certainly change the way you view burnout.

Liz, who be well known to St Emyn's audiences, has just completed her PhD on "Understanding the risk and protective factors for burnout and wellbeing of staff working in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit: PICU staff wellbeing" and has an unrivalled real world and evidence based experience of what these terms really mean.

In this first in a special series Liz goes into depth describing not only what burnout is, but how it can be measured (and the limitations of this) and most importantly how this is a system issue and not a diagnosis.

In the next episode we will discuss another commonly used term 'wellbeing'.

We think this series is incredibly important and hope you will help us share it far and wide. You can read the accompanying blogpost here.
