Healing the Healers

In this powerful All Things Conflict special, I sit down with Dr. Jane Stevens, a dedicated medical doctor and visionary leader, for an open and heartfelt conversation that uncovers the human side of healthcare. We explore the intersection of healthcare, personal responsibility, and the vital role of well-being within the NHS. 

A Journey Shaped by Life-Changing Experience

Dr. Jane shares her inspiring path into medicine, one sparked by a profound event in her youth that set her on a mission to heal, serve, and understand the deeper layers of human health.

The Hidden Challenges Within Healthcare

Together, Jane and I unpack the realities faced by healthcare professionals working inside an increasingly complex system. From burnout to emotional strain, they discuss how these pressures affect not only clinicians but also the quality of patient care.

Why Staff Well-Being Matters

A key theme of the conversation is the essential role of staff well-being. Dr. Jane explains why supporting healthcare workers is not optional, it’s foundational. Only when caregivers are cared for can the highest standard of patient care be delivered.

Practical Well-Being Initiatives Making a Difference

Listeners will get an inside look at real initiatives helping staff thrive, including:

• Reflective retreats
• Non-violent communication training
• Innovative spaces for rest, gratitude, and reconnection

These practices are already transforming pockets of the NHS, and inspiring change throughout the system.

The Power of Community & Gratitude

We highlight the importance of coming together, acknowledging each other, and cultivating gratitude, especially during challenging times. These simple but profound acts help strengthen the fabric of care within healthcare organizations.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a leader navigating organizational well-being, or simply someone curious about the human dynamics behind the NHS, this episode is rich with wisdom, practical insights, and genuine inspiration.
