A GP practice
Clinical and reception staff together, in a slot the practice already holds. The taster is the usual starting point and the half day is the usual second booking.
For GP practices & clinical teams
A clinical peer in the room, not an external wellbeing supplier.
Stress and burnout sessions for GP practices, primary care networks and clinical departments, led by a Registered Nurse (NMC) who spent two decades in the NHS. Your team can tell the difference within five minutes, and they do.

Of NHS sickness absence is anxiety, stress, depression or other psychiatric illness. It is the single largest reported cause.

Of GPs in a UK primary care study were classed as severely exhausted. The same study linked burnout to reported near misses.
Hall et al., British Journal of General Practice, 2019None of that is news to a practice manager. What to do about it, in the slot you have, is the useful part.

She has done the job.
Leah Morley-Fitzpatrick is a Registered Nurse (NMC) with over two decades in healthcare across oncology, elderly care, research and mental health. For ten of those years she worked within mental health nursing, including managing a mental health care home throughout the pandemic and maintaining zero COVID cases.
That matters here more than it does anywhere else. A clinical team can tell within minutes whether the person at the front has ever run late on a list, or handed over something they were not happy about, or gone home unsure. Wellbeing content from somebody who has not is heard politely and then set aside.
No generic wellness material, and no theory without a practical tool attached. The aim is restoring balance, reducing burnout and improving retention.
“You are your first patient, and the one who deserves your care most.”

Read Leah's full background ›Where it fits
The diary is the obstacle, so start there.
A practice cannot close for a wellbeing day, and any proposal that assumes otherwise is not a serious one. These are the slots that exist.
Practice meeting
The 90 minute taster, inside a slot you already hold. No additional closure, no locum cover, and it is by some distance the most common first booking.
Protected learning time
The half day immersion, on a PLT afternoon. Four hours is enough to work through all five bodies and send everyone away with a personal plan.
A whole day
The full day training, for a department or a PCN rather than a single practice, where the cost of the day can be shared and the managers can be in the room too.
One individual
Where the concern is a named person rather than the team, coaching runs over six to eight weeks and does not need a slot in anyone's diary but theirs. Coaching
Which slot do you actually have?
That is the whole first conversation. Fifteen minutes on what your team are carrying and what the week will realistically allow, and a one page proposal after it.
What changes for a clinical room
The framework is fixed. Everything around it is not.
The examples are clinical
Rota pressure, compassion fatigue, and the particular weight of decisions made quickly with incomplete information. Not the corporate version with the job titles swapped out.
The tools fit between patients
Practices short enough to use in the gap between one appointment and the next, because that is the only gap there is. Anything requiring twenty undisturbed minutes is not taught as a workday tool.
Reception staff are included
They absorb the frustration of every patient who could not get through, and they are routinely left out of clinical wellbeing entirely. Practices that include them tend to notice the difference fastest.
Nothing is presented as a fix for the workload
The session is explicit that it cannot change the list, the rota or the funding. Starting anywhere else loses a clinical room inside ten minutes.
Five layers, each held by the one around it. The spine of every session, whatever the length.
See the 5 Bodies Model ›Who books it
Usually a practice manager, occasionally a partner.
A primary care network
A full day for a group of practices, where the cost of the day is shared and the managers are in the room alongside their teams.
A clinical department
Whole departments and clinical teams outside primary care. The framework is the same; the pressures the session is built around are agreed beforehand.
Where wellbeing is a standing commitment rather than a response to a bad quarter, it is worth looking at a programme.
Ongoing programmes ›What people say afterwards
The same three things, session after session.
Feeling calmer and more grounded, and understanding my stress responses for the first time.
A noticeable shift in energy and morale across the whole team.
Most practices start with the 90 minute taster in a slot they already hold.

No pressure and no pitch. A short conversation about what your team are carrying, and which format would fit the slot you actually have.
