Burnout: How can we protect ourselves and each other? – Dr Ruchi Sinnatamby, Consultant Radiologist and Clinical SubDean, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

This presentation will help you to:
• Recognise the symptoms of burnout.
• Understand key principles to improving mental health.
• Choose strategies for building resilience for yourself and your team.
