19th Feb 2020 - Self Care

'We look after doctors so they can look after you'

This is the mission statement of the BMA, but we're also interested in how you look after yourself.

The rest and facilities charter from the BMA outlines simple steps that can be taken to improve facilities and reduce fatigue, so we can safely, effectively and efficiently care for our patients, but how do you take care of you?  

We hope you'll join in our first tweetchat on all thing self care.

We'd like to talk about what you think self care is.  How you look after yourself during shifts, how you switch off from work and, what you need to help you take better care of your own health and well-being, both physical and mental.

Online will be:

@BMAGayle - Member Engagement Coordinator for the West of Scotland

@BMAsanderson - Assistant Secretary, BMA Scotland

and @BMAScotland  - our social media team
