Covid-19 is putting a lot of stress on our national healthcare systems and hospitals. To have enough capacity of hospital beds and mainly ICU-beds is often reported as the main challenge, but the main bottleneck however is the right number of qualified physicians and nurses, being competent to care for ICU-patients. In the webinar, we will explore the current situation on covid-19 in various European countries, existing capacities, and nurse staffing in hospitals. We will discuss how nurse staffing is effecting patient outcomes, how covid-19 is affecting the well-being of caregivers followed by some practical recommendations.

Mindfulness is paying attention in the present moment, intentionally and with non-judgment. It is the deliberate act of regulating attention through the observation of thoughts, emotions, and body states. Studies have shown benefits in conditions both psychological and physical including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, irritable bowel, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and chronic pain. Join us for this webinar with Dr Helen Noble, PhD, a nephrology nurse, academic and mindfulness teacher with Mindfulness UK.
