How well did hospitals perform for their staff during covid?
In the first wave of covid-19, hospitals started to reconfigure space and services, to provide rest areas and food for staff, to help them cope with the surge in patients.
Michael West, professor professor of work and organisational psychology at Lancaster University Management School, returns to the podcast to talk about how well those changes helped staff - and what needs to be done, now that a second wave is hitting, to make sure those essential services don't disappear.

A variety of psychological therapies have been tried and, in May 2020, the latest evidence on these was brought together in a Cochrane Review. We asked one of the authors, Mie Sedoc J ørgensen from Region Zealand Psychiatry in Denmark, to tell us what it shows. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Deep Breath In - EUPD with Leisha Davies, Soumitra Burman-Roy and Marie Stella McClure
Personality disorder is often referred to as the “Cinderella” diagnosis of mental health. Around 1 in 20 people is estimated to have a personality disorder, and it is a neglected and under-resourced area of our healthcare system.

With suicidal ideation being experienced by many people with a personality disorder on a regular basis, we also talk ab...
