THIS EPISODE: Primary Care UK Nurse Lead Emma Borders has a conversation with Dr Lorre Laws, a a renowned nurse scientist and trauma burnout expert. The aim is to help clinicians understand and manage this endemic problem.

Dr Laws sheds light on the pressing issue of professional burnout among healthcare providers. The discussion traverses through outdated approaches to burnout, the concept of 'nurse specific traumatization,' and the introduction of polyvagal theory as a foundation for effective self-care. Listeners will gain valuable understanding of the autonomic nervous system, the 'three A's and B,' and practical strategies such as the 'innate care plan' and 'Microdoses Matter' for maintaining mental health and resilience. Emphasizing the importance of small, actionable steps and inner-outer world alignment, this episode offers profound insights and tools for healthcare professionals to thrive amidst challenges, reclaim wellness, and stay passionate in their calling
