“The Power of Us” A conversation with Jan Bostock
Jan Bostock is a consultant clinical psychologist who works in the Northeast and Cumbria Wellbeing Hub for health and social care staff.
She's also a key figure in the development of the Power Threat Meaning Framework (BPS, 2018), and is co-chair of the British Psychological Society committee for the Framework.
As well as reflecting on her experiences of the pandemic we also discuss how issues around power and social justice can be key to dealing with the mental health of those working for the NHS and social care.
