Course description
This 2-hour free video education module is designed for health professionals in primary care and many other settings. The first section of the module reviews the commonest emotional reactions experienced by health professionals and the general public, to the Covid-19 pandemic, and provides some quick tips and brief strategies for coping effectively during and after the crisis situation.
The second section will follow shortly and will include an overview of a series of steps for emotional wellbeing and resilience known as 'FACE-COVID', which are based on CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and compassion-focused therapy.

10 minute cbt mental wellbeing during covid 19
by Helen Adcock
Useful summary of tools and techniques to deal with a variety of emotions during covid. The mindfulness exercises were particularly useful and highlighted different aspects and approaches e.g. focus on breath, gratitude, noticing and naming. The resources listed at the end very helpful as well.
This course was written at the beginning of the covid 19 pandemic, so it may be useful to update as time goes on e.g. with focus on dealing with fatigue/burnout should there be second and third waves and perhaps broadened to health and social care professionals and academics who may be facing economic and identity difficulties.

10 Minute CBT
by Elaine Paisley
useful for patients and for personal use , not just for covid-19 but in all areas of life.
by Lucy Stewart
I found this really helpful during this difficult time. I particularly liked the mindfulness exercises and the ABLE meditation, on letting go of our need for certainty. The only thing I do find difficult is that the way of treating ourselves kindly encouraged by this module, and mindfulness/ACT etc generally is so totally at odds with how we, as doctors, are treated by management ,NHS England and the government, all of whom just harass us to do more and more with insufficient resources. It is very strange that for the first time in about 5 years my days as a GP aren't totally overwhelming with 12 hour days filled with paperwork,, patient demands, having to deal with complaints, as a practice.
