À propos de cet audio

 SafeSpace is a new grounding and respite podcast aimed at Healthcare Professionals focused on staff wellbeing in the healthcare work environment, a grossly overlooked issue and yet, I would argue, the cornerstone of the healthcare system which is why it is crumbling. There are 3 components to the podcast: - Candid interviews with healthcare leaders, and a wide variety of passionate healthcare professionals about their own experiences and struggles with their wellbeing as they have progressed through their careers - Reflective discussions with a clinical psychologist, my co-host, regarding key topics that have arisen such as coping with bullying, depression, burnout, grief, menopause etc - Guided meditations specific to the healthcare worker getting ready for the day ahead, a pause during, and winding down and acceptance following the working day. This podcast is not a panacea or substitute for a formal management plan, but a motivating, and catharsis tool to help during a stressful day.

Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Mariam chats with Dr. Karen Sankey about well-being and resilience in healthcare, focusing on both patients and professionals. With over 30 years of experience in the NHS, Dr. Sankey shares her journey from traditional medical practices to a more holistic, trauma-informed approach that emphasises the importance of community and human connection. She highlights the impact of trauma on health, the need for collective responsibility in addressing burnout among healthcare workers, and the significance of creating safe spaces for healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trauma is not solely defined by adverse experiences but is also about the psychological changes that occur in our bodies as a result of those experiences. Recognising this can help healthcare professionals better understand their patients and themselves. Resilience should not be viewed as an individual responsibility but rather as a collective one. Creating supportive environments in healthcare settings is essential to address the systemic pressures that contribute to burnout among professionals. Establishing safe spaces where individuals can share their experiences and feel heard is crucial for healing. This approach fosters community and connection, which are vital for emotional and psychological health. Educating both healthcare professionals and patients about trauma-informed care can lead to more compassionate and effective interactions. BEST MOMENTS "I think resilience is almost an individual responsibility. There can be a sense of failure that, well, why am I not coping when all my colleagues are okay?" "Trauma is not what happens to us, it's what happens in our bodies as a result of experiences or environments." "Sometimes innovation is actually going back to basics, which is what we're doing." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing. She has experience on the Schwartz Round Steering group and as a facilitator for her health board, and she created and led the Balint Group Programme for Foundation Doctors in her hospital. These are regular spaces for healthcare professionals to speak about real issues that affect their well-being amongst colleagues to improve mutual support and camaraderie in the workplace. She also holds qualifications in Life Coaching and healthcare leadership and management. Whatever your reason for joining us on this podcast, we are glad you have taken the time. If you are having stressful days at work, leaving you feeling demotivated, and depleted, I'm hoping I can help here.

  • Transforming Tension: Strategies for Effective Communication in Leadership

    Transforming Tension: Strategies for Effective Communication in Leadership
    Jan 8 2026
    The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms If you like the episode please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Mariam interviews Chris Turner on the nature of disagreement and the importance of how we respond to it. Chris shares insights on the three primary responses people have when faced with conflict: the desire to win, the tendency to accommodate or avoid, and the choice to listen with curiosity. KEY TAKEAWAYS When faced with disagreement, individuals have three primary responses: fighting to win, accommodating or avoiding the conflict, or engaging with curiosity to understand the other person's perspective. The latter is essential for making informed decisions. Winning a debate or conversation often leads to domination rather than collaboration. True success lies in understanding and integrating diverse viewpoints rather than simply overpowering others. In clinical and professional settings, the lack of psychological safety can prevent individuals from sharing valuable insights. This can hinder decision-making and problem-solving processes. BEST MOMENTS "When we disagree with each other, we're always going to disagree. It doesn't matter what we're talking about." "Winning doesn't mean that we've done the right thing. Winning means that we've dominated somebody." "When you get into that adversarial kind of I want to win this debate kind of mode, you might be winning the debate, but you're not winning their hearts."

  • Grounding and Empowering: A Meditation to Connect with Your Inner Vitality

    Grounding and Empowering: A Meditation to Connect with Your Inner Vitality
    May 26 2025
    SafeSpace is proudly sponsored by Pastest: a fantastic resource with a huge library of high-quality practice questions and mock exams for a wide range of healthcare professions. So, if you're serious about acing your exams, head over to Pastest.com. In this episode, Melany guides listeners through a meditation designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. The session begins with deep cleansing breaths, encouraging participants to release stress and tension, and concludes with a gentle return to the present moment, leaving participants ready to embrace the rest of their day. KEY TAKEAWAYS The meditation emphasises the importance of deep, cleansing breaths to help release stress and tension, encouraging participants to focus on their breath and its natural rhythm. Participants are guided to connect with their bodies by scanning for areas of tightness or discomfort, promoting relaxation and the infusion of positive energy into those areas. The meditation encourages visualising a vibrant and joyful setting, allowing individuals to absorb the energy and vitality of that environment, which can enhance their overall well-being. Repeating affirmations such as "I am full of energy and vitality" helps reinforce a positive mindset and prepares individuals to tackle their day with enthusiasm and focus. The practice encourages participants to gently bring their awareness back to the present moment, fostering a sense of readiness and energy to embrace the rest of the day. BEST MOMENTS "Take a moment to settle into a comfortable, ideally seated position, close your eyes or soften your gaze." "As you breathe in, send positive energy to these areas. As you breathe out, let go of any tension." "Picture yourself in a beautiful, vibrant setting. A setting that brings you a sense of joy and contentment." "Allow yourself to be infused with the energy and vitality of your visualised place." "I am full of energy and vitality. I radiate positivity and strength. I am ready to tackle my day with enthusiasm and focus." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing.
