NHS Mindfulness Training for Health Professionals

The Problem of Stress at Work

Staff absence costs the NHS £2.4 billion per year - that's £1 for every £40 of the total budget. A huge proportion of illness and absence is caused by stress and stress-related illnesses.

A long-term, low-cost strategy for workplace mental health

Our mindfulness workshops and teacher training are a long-term, low-cost solution that can help reduce the costs of:

  • workplace stress
  • employee turnover
  • stress and illness-related absenteeism

Perhaps more importantly, our courses can improve levels of:

  • work satisfaction
  • communication
  • the overall quality of life of your staff

A Proven Approach

There is now a great deal of research demonstrating the extraordinary contribution of mindfulness and compassion interventions for resilience and happiness.

Every £1 invested in a Breathworks Course produces savings of at least £5.76 in reduced costs to employers, public services, and increased contributions at work and in the community (more about the social value report here).

Those who take part in our courses experience on average: 

Our programme has shown significant improvements in the self-management of pain, stress, and long-term conditions sustained for years after taking part (more research into the Breathworks mindfulness based approach here).

What We Offer

We run bespoke programmes to suit your organisational needs at on and off-site locations. These programmes include:

  • ways staff can establish a personal mindfulness and compassion practice of their own
  • ways to introduce mindfulness and compassion into their work with patients or clients

Training can be provided across a full pathway from initial practitioner to fully accredited and supervised teacher levels.

  • South Tees NHS Foundation Trust

Testimonials

"It has really helped me deal with work stress and I can't recommend the course enough. Self-care is vital to making us good doctors."

"I'm already noticing big changes in myself. Family and friends have commented on how much happier I seem. It's amazing, and I feel so much more 'alive'. I'm so glad I came on your course - it's one of the best things I've ever done."

"I have found completing the course... profound and transformative. I feel better able to handle the day-to-day stress that can arise in my work, my relationships with myself and colleagues have improved, and most importantly I believe that my professional practice has benefited."

"I have gained an enormous amount from the course and cannot thank you enough for the enlightenment I have felt from it. I feel that I am taking care of myself much better and noticing much more than I used to in the world around me."

"I feel that I am less at risk of burnout or 'compassion fatigue', and am better able to act compassionately with my patients."
