In the Intensive Care Society, we care about your experience of your everyday working life in critical care. We know that sustaining the wellbeing of our staff means that we can provide a better service for our patients, and we make safer decisions and fewer mistakes. We know that this is not just about how you as an individual manage the stress of your job; it is about how your job is designed (including how valued you feel at work, your autonomy and sense of control), the way your unit is managed and your team is led, and the support from your peers.

This guide aims to help you to: find out if you have symptoms of anxiety, understand more about anxiety, find ways to manage or overcome anxiety. There are a number of conditions that have anxiety as a symptom, or have anxiety in the name – like social anxiety, social phobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This guide is designed to help with general anxiety symptoms.

Helping you manage your own health and wellbeing while looking after others.

Digital health is revolutionising health and care services, forming a crucial step on the road to care that is more efficient and patient-centred than today. But, with hundreds of thousands of apps available, and 85% falling below quality thresholds, health and care professionals require tools to find the right digital solutions for their patients' and service users' needs. Developed by clinicians, ORCHA's AppFinder gives you unlimited access to thousands of independent app reviews across all health conditions, each of which includes a breakdown of key assessment criteria relating to Clinical Assurance, Data Privacy and User Experience. Sign up to discover the strengths and weaknesses of an app before downloading or recommending it to a patient. Feel confident in accessing quality assured digital health. Is your digital doctor qualified?

Dealing with worry by Ed Sipler - YouTube

Recognising that we all need
a little extra help and support
at this time, the five Health
and Social Care Trusts in
Northern Ireland have linked
with the Public Health Agency
(PHA) and Northern Ireland
Ambulance Service (NIAS) to
encourage everyone to talk
about the ‘elephant in the
room’, in other words, the
things that we often choose
to ignore – our emotions and
how we feel.
