I’ve been an advisor to @TheLiminalSpace Night Club project for a while, but this is the first time I’ve had the chance to meet the team in person … great to see the project in reality!

#TheForgottenShift
Night Club is a fantastic project working across industry (plus some NHS trusts, including @GSTTnhs) to emphasise the impact on sleep, sleep deprivation and fatigue of those who work shifts, especially nightshifts …

#TheForgottenShift
Their content won’t be a surprise to you if you follow me, but what @TheLiminalSpace have achieved is how to get information/strategies across, along with top-level commitment to change, that shows what can be done when projects like this are resourced

Seems a good time to remind yourself that how you are thinking and feeling is likely a NORMAL response to EXTRAORDINARY circumstances

There is support and help out there

It is absolutely OK to not feel OK, but don’t ignore it

(usual caveat that, because this was published in the BMJ, “healthcare professionals” was changed to “doctors” in the headline but, clearly, this isn’t just about doctors)
And this, more than ever:

“When the pandemic is over, and we return to some sense of “normal” again, we will need an even more vigorous discussion about what safe staffing, safe resources, and a safe model of care really mean in the modern NHS.”

The @gmcuk annual training survey is out, looking in particular at the impact of COVID19 on medical trainers and trainees

gmc-uk.org/-/media/docume…
As always there is lots of granular data in the report but at the high level:

~25% of trainees & ~20% of trainers score “high” or “very high” on Copenhagen Burnout Inventory questions in the survey

40% of both trainees and trainees describe work as emotionally exhausting
And almost half report feeling tired/fatigued at the end of the day

(though, as always, I think the phrasing of the question “are you exhausted in the morning at the thought of work” is quite an existential way of asking it!)

Sleep is absolutely essential to your physical and mental health

Sleep’s rhythms underpin everything you do, ensuring your brain and body are working at their best: an MoT every night!

We’re often bad at recognising that, and prioritising sleep in our lives
If you’ve had the right amount of good quality sleep, you should be waking physically and mentally ready to tackle the day ahead

#WorldSleepDay
... many of us don’t feel that way though, especially on a weekday!

Most adults in the UK get about an hour’s less sleep than they need each night ... the equivalent of missing an entire night of sleep every week!
