About this action

Working with patients experiencing health inequalities can be emotionally demanding, leading to moral distress, vicarious trauma and burnout. Structured reflective practice provides space to process complex cases, share learning, and maintain resilience while improving the quality of care. Approaches to implementation: - Schedule protected time for regular reflective practice sessions within your practice and networks - Where possible, use trained facilitators to create psychologically safe spaces - Focus sessions on health equity challenges and their emotional impact - Include all team members, recognising everyone's contribution to equity work Key benefits: Supports staff wellbeing and prevents burnout while improving team learning and responses to complex health inequality challenges.
