Welcome to the 21st WCP Virtual Congress Program Scheduling

What has been the impact on resilience, levels of workforce stress and burnout across the healthcare system? Digital Interactive Theatre is a novel way of education that provides the audience with the opportunity to direct the scenario using a polling system. 'Burning Out' will explore burnout across NHS and social care by identifying how it manifests, how it is assessed, and what are its causes and contributing factors and to what extent are care staff able to balance their working and personal lives? The Delivering core NHS and care services during the pandemic and beyond report set out the concerns that "Some NHS and care staff are suffering from fatigue, exhaustion and a general feeling of being “burnt out” and that the wellbeing of staff (particularly their mental health) is at significant risk". This session will begin by presenting a Digital Interactive Theatre followed by a facilitated discussion. During the post-DIT discussion, the international audience can share their insights on the session focusing on the United Kingdom's experience.
