Mindfulness to Combat Burnout
CPD Guide: 1 EW, PS: The Society welcomes back Dr Hayley North, Neuroscientist at Understand Your Brain, to present this session on mindfulness. Mindfulness is the practice of focusing on the present moment, which strengthens brain networks related to attention, emotion regulation, and self-awareness.
