past projects and what can be learnt
teamwork - involve everyone as ED is a team not just nurses and doctors, the project is about self-care- a way to counteract just a little bit of the busy, overwhelming demanding work environment of ED- can help staff with cognitive and phycological demand of work environment. there is good science behind mindfulness - so use this as leverage to convince management that it is worthwhile
tips for implementation, think small to start off - leverage scinece behind it, inclusive - the whole team, give staff practical solutions and practices that they can do throughout the day - during hand washing ect, be prepared for not everyone wanting to get onboard, leadership from individuals is vital - engage management form teh top to get endorsement , business proposal, promote within the organisation, this will help keep the project sustained and keep the momentumgoing
