By the nature of the work that healthcare professionals do, they come under a lot of stress so it is important that they are supported in dealing with this stress both for their own benefits and that of their friends and family, and also of their clients at work.
Here, healthcare professionals, whether in physical health or mental health, can choose the most relevant modules for themselves and attend them either in work time or in their own time or in a combination of the two starting immediately if they wish.
The Association for Psychological Therapies (APT) provides the following courses for self-care and stress management.

This course ‘does what it says on the tin’ and is for anyone who wants to get good sleep, as well as for professionals who want to learn about helping their clients to do so. It covers all the areas necessary and a few more besides. For example: your relationship with your bed, the sleep drive, the circadian rhythm, sleep myths, sleep hygiene factors, ‘napping’, how to get to sleep, the disruptive habits of partners, what to do on waking up in the middle of the night, biphasic sleep patterns, beliefs about sleep that can undermine us, as well as (briefly) related physical or biological factors relating to sleep and wellbeing.
