Disaster recovery: GP self-care after a disaster
|
During a crisis, GPs and other health professionals play a pivotal role in caring for and supporting those affected by natural disasters and emergencies. With a large influx of patients requiring assistance within short timeframes, frontline responders tend to overlook their own personal needs for support and instead focus on other people requiring medical attention. This module will explore the importance of, and key strategies for, self-care by GPs caring for people after natural disasters or emergencies.
