Workplace Wellbeing and Managing Shift-Work

Workplace Wellbeing and Managing Shift-Work
Workplace Wellbeing and Managing Shift-Work
Numerous research has shown shift workers are prone to various chronic health complaints including gastrointestinal complaints, obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders, depleted immune systems – to name a few.  This stems largely from ongoing sleep deprivation and disruption to the sleep/wake cycle, along with subsequent misalignment of biological circadian rhythms which often induces fatigue, leading to poor dietary and lifestyle habits.
In this webinar, Audra Starkey will explore:
-    Why sleep prioritization is critical for anyone working 24/7
-    Strategies to support the parasympathetic nervous system to encourage better sleep
-    The influence of chrononutrition in the management of shift work wellness
-    Shift work nutrition – eating to support more energy, better digestive health and weight regulation

Resilience and Wellbeing Practices for Veterinary Nurses
The experience of stress is a personal one, and no two people will experience situations the same way. An event at work that could be considered a major stressful event for one nurse, may be seen by others as energising and challenging.

•    Developing emotional insight, and self-awareness skills
•    Personal resilience-building and wellbeing practices
•    Practical strategies for handling difficult situations at work
