You are invited to participate in the next Medical Center Hour, "From Self to System: A "Both/And" Conversation about Improving Clinician Wellbeing" on Wednesday, Sept., 29, from noon-1 p.m.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made visible for the public what clinicians in healthcare have understood for all too long — clinician wellbeing is in crisis. Conversations on this topic have evolved over the last decade or more, often beginning with initial awareness, wellness committees, and a focus on individual-focused interventions. What has become all too apparent is that this is not enough; systems changes are also needed. To achieve this level of change, self-care is important and necessary, and can fuel the advocacy needed to affect change in teams, organizations, and systems. These systemic changes cannot spring from an empty well, so personal, team, organization and systems resilience are also needed. This interprofessional panel of UVA’s School of Nursing faculty — all authors in a new book aimed at new nurses but relevant for all who work in healthcare — discuss how self-care, mattering at work, and constructive advocacy can be leveraged to reinvent healthy work environments in healthcare.
