"The Whole Yoga Thing" - A conversation with Dr Peter Donnelly

Staff wellbeing initiatives - like yoga classes - can feel like a cynical move by employers to paper over the cracks of the very serious issues affecting staff.

But wellbeing is imporant - not just for healthcare workers themselves, but for patients too.

Dr Peter Donnelly is a consultant paediatric intensivist at the Royal Hospital For Children in Glasgow, as well as being the Chair of the Wellbeing Special Interest Group for the Paediatric Critical Care Society.

He joins Dr Paula Redmond for this episode to explain how staff wellbeing initiatives can be made more meaningful and effective.
