Working effectively in healthcare communications: Turning stress into a force for good

Note this is a video recording of an online meeting conducted using the Zoom.us platform. Inevitably such recordings suffer a little in terms of their production values because of the internet connectivity and quality of webcams. Despite that, they allow us to provide additional valuable insights in to the MedComms business and we can involve a wider range of speakers who can participate from the comfort of their own desks, wherever in the world they are.

It's a proven fact that the perfect blend of pressure and stress improves performance; helping individuals, teams and organisations work faster, think sharper, grow through challenge, and unlock their potential. During this session, Paul Hutchings (fox&cat) and Catherine Keddie (CK Coaching and Consulting) will cover:

* the latest insights and data around how stress is affecting the communications industry
* the different types of stress (from the types that help us grow, to the types that have negative consequences, if left unchecked)
* how to identify which type of stress you are experiencing
* some options on what you can do to manage stress appropriately

They will also be talking to us about an exciting new approach to helping agencies and their people manage the pressure and stress that come with working in communications in a more healthy and manageable way.

Together, we can create an industry where the natural levels of pressure and stress that come with the role are used as a force for good, rather than us feeling crushed by it. And we answer questions from the audience.

It should be of interest to anyone who is working in and around MedComms, or who is wanting to join the business.
