Recorded at Tactical Trauma 2024, in this episode of the St. Emlyn's podcast, Iain Beardsell and Liz Crowe sit down with Kevin Cyr, commander of a SWAT-like unit in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, to discuss leadership, failure, and resilience in high-stakes environments. Kevin shares the powerful story of a tragic hostage situation that resulted in the unintended death of the hostage by the police, a failure of the highest order. Through this  tragedy, Kevin highlights the importance of visible leadership, team resilience, and learning from failure in both law enforcement and healthcare settings. Key Themes: 1. Handling Failure in High-Pressure Situations: Kevin discusses a significant incident where a hostage was killed by his SWAT team during a rescue attempt, describing it as the “epitome of failure.” This tragic event not only made national news but left an indelible mark on the team. The podcast dives into the lessons learned from this event and how the team used it to drive growth and improvement. In healthcare, much like in policing, failure can feel devastating and highly public, but it's also a critical aspect of development for teams and leaders. 2. Visible Leadership and Unwavering Support: In the aftermath of a traumatic event, Kevin emphasizes the importance of leadership being present and supportive. He recounts how he and his commanding officer went to visit the officers involved in the shooting immediately after the event, providing what he calls “unwavering support.” In healthcare, leaders should adopt similar strategies, offering visible and sustained support to their teams in the immediate aftermath of difficult cases. 3. Sustained Support Over Time: While initial support following a traumatic event is crucial, Kevin points out that it's often after 48 hours, or even weeks later, that people start feeling isolated. Leaders must continue to check in with their teams weeks after the event, when the immediate crisis may have passed, but the emotional toll is still present. This ongoing visibility and emotional support are key to retaining staff and ensuring their well-being in both law enforcement and healthcare. 4. Debriefing to Learn, Not to Blame: Kevin advocates for a debriefing process that focuses on learning from failure rather than assigning blame. After their tragic event, his team didn't just move on; they dissected the event to understand what went wrong and how to prevent similar failures in the future. In healthcare, this process is equally valuable—debriefs should aim to identify learning opportunities and reinforce positive actions, not to point fingers. 5. The Role of Organizational Culture: Kevin touches on how organizational apathy, or a lack of emotional and psychological support, can cause more damage than the actual traumatic event itself. He highlights the importance of developing a high-trust environment where team members feel safe to express vulnerability. In healthcare, fostering a culture of open communication and mutual support is essential to prevent burnout and moral injury. 6. The Value of Failure in Team Growth: One of the most profound insights Kevin shares is the idea that failure is a necessary part of growth. Three years after their tragic hostage situation, his team was called to a similar event, but this time they were successful in rescuing both hostages. Kevin attributes this success directly to the lessons learned from their earlier failure, emphasizing that failure, when handled correctly, can lead to transformational change. 7. Selection and Resilience in High-Performance Teams: Kevin discusses the importance of selecting team members with high emotional intelligence and the humility to ask for help when needed. He explains how his team differentiates between rank and role, giving autonomy to those with the most subject matter expertise, regardless of their rank. In healthcare, this is a critical point—leaders must recognize that true leadership isn't just about authority, but about empowering others to take charge when appropriate. 8. Managing Expectations and Mental Health: The episode also delves into how individuals in high-stakes roles, whether in policing or healthcare, cope with the psychological aftermath of traumatic events. Kevin explains how his team has shifted from the belief that emotional support is unnecessary to recognizing the value of helping team members process their experiences in a healthy way. This parallels the increasing focus in healthcare on preventing burnout and ensuring emotional well-being through proactive support. Key Takeaways: - Failure is Inevitable: In high-stakes environments like policing and healthcare, failure will happen. What matters is how teams respond to failure—learning from it, growing stronger, and preventing future mistakes. Leadership Requires Visibility: Leaders must be present, especially in the aftermath of failure. Showing unwavering support and maintaining visibility over time is crucial for maintaining team morale and trust. - Debriefing to Learn: After a failure, it's essential to have structured debriefs that focus on learning and improving, rather than blaming. This helps teams identify areas of improvement and ensures they grow stronger from difficult experiences. - Long-Term Support is Critical: Immediate support after a traumatic event is important, but equally important is sustaining that support over time, checking in with team members weeks or even months later to ensure their well-being. - Resilience through Humility: Teams should be built on trust and humility, where members can ask for help when needed and offer help to others. Selecting individuals with high emotional intelligence is key to creating a resilient team. - Failure Leads to Growth: When handled correctly, failure can drive transformational change within teams. It allows for the development of new skills and ensures that teams are better prepared for future challenges. Quotes: - “Failure is a necessary part of growth. It's not just something to get over, it's something you get better from.” - “Visible leadership and unwavering support are critical in the immediate aftermath of failure. Your team needs to know you're there with them.” - “Debriefing to learn, not to blame, is essential. We must focus on what went well, what went wrong, and how to improve next time.” - “In high-pressure environments, we can't control every variable, but we can control how we respond to them and how we prepare for the future.”

In this episode Jesse is joined by his esteemed co-host Dr Liz Crowe. Liz takes the guest seat in this episode to lay down a primer on loss and grief. This episode serves as foundational principles focus from where we will launch for future episodes exploring coping and different socio-cultural experiences of loss. Liz's Five Things What are loss and grief? There is no such thing as normal grief. Grief does not occur in stages and is not cured by time. Grief is exhausting and recovery is active. To grieve we must have loved.

There is a real risk that ‘wellbeing' is becoming just ‘another thing to do'. What do we mean when we talk about wellbeing? What are the metrics to measure wellbeing? Is it a survey or a ‘feeling'? In this episode, Liz Crowe explores the science and myths of wellbeing for staff working in healthcare. She will look at the practicalities and pressures of embedding wellbeing into the busy clinical settings of health and provide some practical solutions. Wellbeing will be explored through the lens of language, autonomy, time, energy, humour, creativity and social relationships.

In this week's podcast Liz Crowe – an advanced clinician social worker who has worked in Brisbane's major children's hospitals in intensive care, emergency departments and cancer wards - begins the podcast with the question – is all this talk of burn out, actually making us burnt out?   In this podcast, Liz goes on to address exactly what the term burn out actually means and discusses how the literature on burnout in healthcare workers is prolific. She discusses how healthcare presents as an occupation of high risk, distress, and despair, with an escalation of risk post pandemic. Yet, she says, burnout is not the whole story even though it is the only story being told. Liz speaks about the extensive research into burnout and what it reveals, and the risk factors for burnout, which include excessive workload, lack of control or recognition, mismatch of values, lack of meaning and emotional contagion. However, she notes that none of these are individual deficits and says that it is concerning that ‘wellbeing' in healthcare is never discussed in terms of meaning making, purpose, contribution, community, stimulating work or growth and development.   Yet, she goes on to say, for many critical care staff these positive factors for wellbeing are found in abundance.   Liz also states that her research shows that people want to believe that the bad stuff happens on one side of life; the good on the other, and people want to know how they get to the other side. Whereas, she says, in reality, life is a crappy mess that sits somewhere in the middle.   The podcast concludes with Liz stating that purpose and community are everything, that life is messy, but some days - despite how awful we feel - we soar because of the opportunities we have. She encourages listeners to savour life, and to remember that even on the worst day of their working life, their patients are doing it tougher.   For more head to our podcast page #CodaPodcast

Wellbeing is very complex, as it is an individual construct that is strongly aligned and interpreted through a lens of personal values, philosophy, culture, faith, and goals for life. Most importantly, wellbeing is dynamic rather than homeostatic and a subjective state determined by the individual. Yet we use the term wellbeing to describe a wide variety of different things (often in terms of being the opposite of burnout which it most certainly isn't).  In this second episode of our series Liz Crowe discusses in detail what the literature says about wellbeing and how we may be able to use this going forward. Please do like and subscribe. Thanks for listening.

Burnout is a term that seems to be used a lot these days, but what does it really mean? In this episode Dr Liz Crowe explains all, and will almost certainly change the way you view burnout.  Liz, who be well known to St Emyn's audiences, has just completed her PhD on "Understanding the risk and protective factors for burnout and wellbeing of staff working in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit: PICU staff wellbeing" and has an unrivalled real world and evidence based experience of what these terms really mean. In this first in a special series Loz goes into depth describing not only what burnout is, but how it can be measured (and the limitations of this) and most importantly how this is a system issue and not a diagnosis. In the next episode we will discuss another commonly used term 'wellbeing'. We think this series is incredibly important and hope you will help us share it far and wide. 

As technology and medicine progresses so do our options for care. But how does doing ‘what we can' impact the ‘doing what is right'? How often do pressures related to the job cause us to act in ways that are inconsistent with our ethical values? How does that impact us and what can we do to minimise its effect?

“5 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO SAVE THE PLANET” with Hugh Montgomery (w. Liz Crowe)   SCIENTIST & CLIMATE EXPERT HUGH MONTGOMERY DISCUSSES THE CONCERNING STATE OF THE PLANET & OUTLINES WHY WE NEED TO BEGIN TAKING REAL, IMMEDIATE ACTION TO SAVE IT.   In this chat with wellbeing specialist Liz Crowe, Hugh begins by addressing the satirical Netflix film “Don't Look Up” and pointing out that it may not be as far from reality as people think. We've been sitting on our hands & ignoring warnings in terms of greenhouse gases for too long, and Hugh warns that the “asteroid is about to strike”.   HUGH CITES REPORTS WHICH CLAIM WE HAVE JUST A FEW YEARS TO TURN AROUND THE CLIMATE CRISIS. HE DETAILS WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE.   Extreme weather will be one of the most notable signs. Global sea levels will also rise noticeably and temperatures across the world will reach record highs. These will be “colossal changes” according to Hugh. This will lead to up to 2/3 of the world's population needing to move to try and escape these extreme changes. There is a “rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future”.   BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? HUGH SAYS WE NEED TO BEGIN TAKING RADICAL ACTION.   For those wanting to take greater steps toward saving the planet, Hugh recommends starting with the following ways:   Buddy up with like-minded people who want to make a change Exert your influence to get family & friends to also begin taking action Find a good carbon calculator to measure your personal footprint Make improvements in whichever areas you can, with emphasis on the more damaging areas like heating, food & transport. After making personal changes, shift your focus to your workplace   To finish on a lighter note, Hugh states that “we are the only generation that has ever had the chance to save humanity” and reminds us that yes, we CAN do it.     Tune in to this eye-opening assessment of our ever-changing climate with Hugh Montgomery & Liz Crowe.   For more like this, head to our podcast page #CodaPodcast

This episode discusses the effect of the pandemic on healthcare professionals at an individual level, and how this has broad reaching ramifications at a team and industry level across different country contexts.   IN THIS PODCAST PETER BRINDLEY IS JOINED BY HUGH MONTGOMERY, LIZ CROWE, AND SHELLY DEV TO DISCUSS WELLNESS, RESILIENCE, BURN OUT AND BEING A HEALTHCARE WORKER IN THE WORLD NOW. THIS EPISODE EXPLORES JOB SECURITY, PUBLIC RECOGNITION, AND THE EFFECT OF THE PANDEMIC AT A PERSONAL LEVEL FOR DOCTORS AND NURSES.   In the context of the pandemic, the good comes with the bad – as Liz explains. Throughout the pandemic we have seen health care professionals experience trying work conditions the world over. However, it is one of the few industries that did not experience staff layoffs and work reduction. On the other hand, all healthcare systems in the world are imperfect. Throwing a pandemic into the mix produced even more challenges. It was therefore unlikely that the mental health and satisfaction from work was going to improve over the past two years. Hugh discusses the disposition of healthcare workers in London during the pandemic – one of the hardest hit regions in the world. Whilst the pandemic initially provided an opportunity for intensive care doctors and nurses to do what they are trained to do; the ongoing nature has proven to be challenging. The doctors in his system are weary – both mentally and physically. Shelly highlights the touching nature of working within a close team during this difficult period. In her experience there is a comradery that has been emphasised through the pandemic. However, Shelly states that even in non-pandemic times healthcare workers have struggled to cultivate a healthy relationship with the rest of their lives outside of work. Therefore, her first thoughts at the start of the pandemic were not of the intellectually interesting challenge, but rather what was going to happen with her family. On a broader scale, Shelly posits these hardships may lead to more and more healthcare professionals leaving the industry.   Tune in to this authentic perspective on healthcare worker wellbeing with Peter Brindley, Hugh Montgomery, Liz Crowe & Shelly Dev.

In Part 2 of this podcast Hugh Montgomery, Liz Crowe, and Shelly Dev along with Peter Brindley continue their discussion on wellness, resilience, burn out and being a healthcare worker in the world now. IN THIS EPISODE THE TEAM DISCUSSES THE BROADER ORGANISATION STRUCTURE AND HOW THIS CONTRIBUTES TO (OR DETRACTS FROM) TEAMWORK AND HEALTHCARE WORKER WELLNESS AND SATISFACTION. Shelly delves into the topic of the organisations and whether they are supporting the clinicians on the ground in the best possible way. Senior leadership, in her opinion, has done a major disservice to healthcare workers in their support and leadership roles. The support needed on the ground transcends yoga classes and healthy cooking recipes. Organisational support needs to acknowledge the needs and desires of healthcare staff, namely, to deliver excellent care and have good days at work in the context of a healthy life. Liz suggests that although the organisational leadership is important for the overall wellbeing of the workforce, they are one aspect of a broader picture. She believes that leaders should be mentored in leadership. Teaching people basic communication and feedback skills would make a huge difference. Similarly, fostering a culture of togetherness and unity amongst separate entities of a larger organisation would lead to greater worker satisfaction and lead to better outcomes for patients. HUGH RAISES THE POINT OF CLINICAL OUTCOMES BEING INFLUENCED BY ENGAGEMENT OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT. Management teams engaging with clinical staff seem to increase the patient care being delivered. Hugh provides his thoughts as to why this may be the case. Without senior management support, clinicians are increasingly overworked in a system that is constantly pushing back. This can, and does, lead to staff finally breaking and resigning on the spot. The core the issue of healthcare worker burnout and dissatisfaction is simple Shelly states. In her view, everyone in healthcare at their core are good and decent people. They desire support and structures that allow them to enact this value in their everyday work. Although the solutions to the broad range of problems facing health systems across the globe are not as straight forward, remembering this fact is a good starting point. From here, the team provide some of their insights into the way forward.     Tune in to this authentic perspective on healthcare worker wellbeing with Peter Brindley, Hugh Montgomery, Liz Crowe & Shelly Dev.

As technology and medicine progress so do our options for care. But how does doing ‘what we can' impact the ‘doing what is right'? How often do pressures related to the job cause us to act in ways that are inconsistent with our ethical values? How does that impact us and what can we do to minimise its effect?

Our annual Great Debate saw six fearless clinicians and system leaders taking the stage to definitively answer one question—did COVID-19 provide the ‘re-set' our health system has been crying out for? The Affirmative Team of Dr Helen Brown, Ms Liz Crowe and Prof Lisa Nissen valiantly argued the merits of disruption innovation and how the chaos of the pandemic forced us to think and do things differently. But ultimately it was the Negative Team that came out victorious with Prof Keith McNeil, Ms Melissa Fox and Dr Tanya Kelly, with Professor McNeil likening his definitive closing arguments to shooting shooting Lassie.

Liz Crowe interviews Justin Morgenstern about curiosity in medicine. Curiosity is the most important thing that Justin brings to medicine. Why? Because he believes that you can't be a great clinician or educator without first being curious. The future of medicine is based on asking questions – what if? In the critical care environment, when you are under pressure, your brain will often resort to the first solution that comes to mind. Being curious helps us double check our decisions. What could I be missing? What else could I be doing? We often forget to ask about the person sitting in front of us.  One or two minutes of curiosity can change an entire management plan. Curiosity makes you a better practitioner. For more head to: codachange.org/podcasts

Liz Crowe spent 25 years as a social worker, predominantly in paediatric intensive care and critical care.

"I love relationships. I like observing them. I like thinking about them. I like back in the olden days going to the coffee shop and sitting there with my coffee and my laptop pretending to write and watching people around me," today's guest, Liz Crowe, tells me. Liz Crowe is a novelist who has published more than 25 books with two more coming soon. Her focus is romance but before you put her in a box of stereotypical romance authors, you'll have to wait. Liz is a serious writer whose books push the parameters of conventional romance novels. As Liz says her characters get into "messy situations" and she's not into HEA, short for "Happily Ever After," which is most often a requirement of romance publishers. At the core of every novel she pens is this fascination with relationships and how the evolve--or don't--and how they affect people.For her writing process, Liz admits to being "a 100% died-in-the-wool 'pantser'."What is a 'pantser'? (You'll have to listen).Liz decided she wanted to write romance because she fell in love with the work of Charlaine Harris, who is especially known for Sookie Stackhouse series picked up for the HBO True Blood series. Liz’s characters are both snarky and humorous—much like she is--as well as authentic and, she admits, troublesome. In our conversation we discuss her craft, how she approaches creating the characters who populate her books, her writing process, some of her roadblocks and she offers advice for others who might want to start writing their own fiction. We also discuss how Liz got into writing and how her stints traveling from the States to Istanbul to Japan to London, helps inform her writing. We also discuss her love/hate relationship with horror giant Stephen King, who, while she hasn't loved everything he has written, is a "master of internal dialogue" of his characters and obviously well-loved the world over. Much like Stephen King and other authors in the horror genre, Liz says there are accomplished authors in romance who don't get credit for their mastery of storytelling and writing craft. Our conversation is a deeper dive into the process, the challenges, and the mindset of an authentic, original character who happens to be a published novelist on an upward trajectory. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Liz.Links:FirebrewOther writers Liz loves:Marian Keyes Olivia DadeTalia HibbertNeil GaimanOther mentions:Fermenta, Fermenta is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit trade group initiated by women, committed to education, networking, diversity, and empowerment within the fermented beverage and food industries.Annette May, CiceroneLiz on InstagramLiz on FacebookIntro/Outro Illuminate graciously provided by Wildes

Covering a wide array of issues, from PPE to simulation, Martin Bromiley, Liz Crowe and Oli Flower share valuable communications tactics, and the ways human factors affect teams and safety during the COVID-19 crisis.

Frightened, anxious, unsure, overwhelmed- just a few of the emotions we are experiencing at the moment as the front line of the global public health crisis. Could it be that all the surrounding noise is provoking the fear? Roger, Mary, Liz and Jesse are discussing possible strategies on breaking free from the grips of the ever escalating anxiety during COVID-19 times. Podcast by Roger Harris, Liz Crowe, Mary Freer, Jesse Spurr.

The world is consumed by the Coronavirus pandemic, but how do we look after ourselves? Liz and Iain discuss some strategies to stay well over the coming weeks and months. Recorded on 25th March 2020.

Liz Crowe gives sage advice about dealing with grief and loss in the critical care setting, for both relatives and health care professionals.

For people who are feeling overwhelmed: that's normal. One of the main messages I want to get out to the vets is to normalise the enormity and the depth of emotion that they're going to experience. Because it's new. And to not pathologise it. We live in a world where when we have an emotion we almost want to give it a Broadway musical: “Why am I feeling sad today? Let's focus on that sadness.” But in actual fact - it's not a healthy way to deal with day tot day emotions. So when people are going to bed and they are reliving what they've experienced and they are fatigued and they're thinking: “My goodness, I've get to get up and face this again tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow…” and on top of that they've lost their own properties, or they're still at risk of loosing their properties. To feel overwhelmed - can I just say: A HUNDRED PERCENT NORMAL! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vet-vault/message

Welcome to our third and final episode talking about dealing with trauma, loss and grief in a crisis situation, and specifically as it relates to the bushfire catastrophe that we are currently experiencing in Australia, with our super-star social worker Liz Crowe. In this episode Liz speaks to us about the weeks and months after the firestorm has passed: what happens once the crisis has abated and the world has stopped talking about it, but the victims, and those who went to help them, are left to pick up the pieces and deal with what they had experienced? The advice from this episode goes far beyond this particular situation: Liz gives some invaluable input into burnout and compassion fatigue in everyday life, and how to deal with it.

Welcome to the next installment of our bushfire special series with Liz Crowe. In part two Liz tells us how we can best support someone who is caught up in a challenging situation, like the fires that our Aussie vets and thousands of other workers are currently dealing with. Watching our friends an colleagues give so much of themselves is inspiring, but sometimes we feel powerless to help if we aren't right there on the front lines. Liz gives us the best answer I've heard so far on how we can be useful from afar. Here are those resources again for listeners who need help during this challenging time: Treatment guidelines for burn wounds and smoke inhalation: https://www.animalemergencyservice.com.au/news/vetapedia/emergency-burns-info/ Liz's blog on wellbeing, part one: https://www.stemlynsblog.org/wellbeing-for-the-broken-part-1-liz-crowe-for-st-emlyns/ Part two: https://www.stemlynsblog.org/wellbeing-for-the-broken-part-2-st-emlyns/ And if you want to help your colleagues financially - The Australian Veterinary Association's Benevolent Fund: https://www.ava.com.au/donate/ Liz Crowe is an Advanced Clinician Social Worker who has worked extensively for 20 years with individuals, families and children impacted by grief, loss, trauma, crisis and bereavement.

This is a special episode that we're rushing out as a resource to our colleagues who are caught in the apocalyptic bushfire crisis that Australia is currently experiencing, but also for anyone who wants to support those in the crisis but feel unequipped to do so. Beyond the current crisis - we also believe that the advice from this episode's spectacular guest will be a valuable resource to anyone who ever finds themselves in a crisis situation, or regularly deals with traumatic situations that puts them at risk of compassion fatigue, burnout, and dark days in general. Our guest is Liz Crowe. Liz is an Advanced Clinician Social Worker who has worked extensively for 20 years with individuals, families and children impacted by grief, loss, trauma, crisis and bereavement. She's worked in intensive care, emergency departments, cancer wards and all areas associated with children's health. In her current job in a children's intensive care unit she is exposed daily to death, violence, trauma and illness and is now recognised as one of the most experienced counsellors in this field in Australia. Liz is passionate about assisting the community to understand the breadth of loss and grief and how to support yourself, your children, partners, family and friends during times of change and sadness, which is why we really needed to speak to her at this time. As expected from someone with such a depth of knowledge in their field we had a lot to talk about. We wanted to make sure that anyone who is currently in the thick of the action with limited leisure time for things like listening to podcasts could snatch a few moments to listen to this, so we're deviating from our usual long form format and chopping the podcast into shorter episodes, starting with what to do while you are in the midst of a catastrophe such as this one.

Media coverage of the Bushfires is inescapable at the moment, not just in Australia but globally. With such emotive images and reports readily accessible how do we help parents and each other discuss this and other distressing events with children. We spoke to Liz Crowe, a clinical social worker based in the Intensive Care setting...

This is the podcast that links to the following two posts on how to deal with some of the hardest events we have to deal with in emergency and critical care. You can read more about the topic on the following two blogs. https://www.stemlynsblog.org/wellbeing-for-the-broken-part-1-liz-crowe-for-st-emlyns/ https://www.stemlynsblog.org/wellbeing-for-the-broken-part-2-st-emlyns/ This is a tough listen so if you are affected by the content do chat through with colleagues. 

In episode 7, Kyle and Scott speak with Lisanne Vaci and Liz Crowe from the Chicago Fire Department's Human Relations Department.  They discuss the history of and growth of the employee assistance program at the CFD, their therapeutic and educational work with first responders, self-care as trauma workers, and trends they see in employees seeking their services.  Links discussed in this episode: https://www.firestrong.org/ https://www.lutheranchurchcharities.org/k-9-comfort-dogs-about.html https://sarahsinn.org/

A no-holds barred series of 6 provocative medical interrogations. We challenge the state of research, social media, pharmacology, social work, women in medicine, medicine in the developed work, and the health of healthcare workers. It should be novel, it may get heated, and it is not scripted. Sometimes to comfort the afflicted you also need to afflict the comfortable. This is why no prisoners will be taken, no topic is out of bounds, and no ego will be pampered. It may even offend: you have been warned.

In this episode, the fabulous Liz Crowe (@LizCrowe2) discusses how to approach debriefing after critical (and non critical) incidents in healthcare. We focus on the debriefing that takes place 5-7 days after an incident. For more on a "hot" debrief listen to this podcast by Ashley Liebig and Rob Orman 

Host Ryan Stanton, MD, FACEP talks to Liz Crowe--a pediatric/intensive care social worker--about the importance of compassion, openness, and communication for both healthcare professionals and patients.

Iain (@docib) and Liz (@LizCrowe2) discuss one of the hottest topics in medicine - Burnout. What is it, who gets it and what can we do about it? Liz brings her huge knowledge and experience to a topic that is often discussed, but not always understood. Essential listening.

Does love have any place in critical care? If we love and care are we more vulnerable to burnout and compassion fatigue? Will we be identified as weak leaders, too ‘soft’ for the area? Are we supposed to love an environment full of carnage and suffering? Are we meant to ‘love’ our colleagues and see our team as an extended family? Should we ‘love’ our patients or is that a ‘boundary crosser’? Critical Care consistently looks internally to resolve the past and emerging problems when there is research across disciplines that will assist critical care environments to adapt to the changing landscape of ethics, new technologies, issues with teams and a need for leaders to be more than skilled clinicians. Love and humanism may hold the key? Drawing on theories and models that hold love and compassion at their core this talk will draw examples from couples counselling, family therapy, development of teams, acceptance and commitment therapy and some of the greatest leaders in history to provide an innovative framework that can create flourishing and wellbeing within critical care for both the patient and professional. Discover where love can take us in critical care. Exploring the developmental phases of love and critical care we can learn to use our passion and energy for the job as strength instead of as an allergen. We will be reminded from the greatest leaders of our time how to transform health care and working relationships into an environment of love, support and resilience. That if we can negotiate relationships with partners, in-laws, children and friends we have the skills and resources to manage, love and thrive at work. Love, connection and compassion have much to teach us, it is time we learned to listen

The fabulous Liz Crowe (@LizCrowe2) returns to the St Emlyn's podcast to chat with Iain about how we can communicate more effectively with children in critical care. This podcast explores topics that are important not just for clinicians, but anyone who works with or has children.

Liz and Iain review the communication workshop at SMACC Dublin. This is relevant to everyone who works in clinical care. More great stuff from Liz (and Iain ;-) ). S

Liz Crowe has delivered some great talks at SMACC, and her talents do not stop there. In her real job she is a social worker on PICUs in Australia. She has a wealth of experience at helping people through difficult times and she shares that with us here on the podcast. In truth this is something we planned to do when we were all in Chicago but the podcast has added poignancy following the tragic death of John Hinds. Although planned as a stand alone subject we cannot help but contextualise the topic in light of recent tragic events. We hope it helps now and in the future.
