This course will cover the essential elements for maintaining and improving your health and wellbeing. This course is available for all NCHDs. The course certificate is recognised as equivalent to the HST mandatory for those applying for the Specialist Division Register (SDR).
This is a blended course with online self-guided content and a live virtual interactive tutorial.
It will explore core topics of wellbeing such as self-care and building resilience, understanding and managing stress (both personal and work-related), reflecting on your own environment and prioritising, and support systems that are there for you. The live tutorial is very interactive, with input from all attendees and case discussions.
We recommend that you work through the online content, reflect on what you have learned and attend your interactive tutorial.

• Understand and manage common causes of stress, both personal and work-related
• Use tools and techniques to build resilience and wellbeing
• Recognise the signs of stress and burnout in others and what to do about it
