Published Date: 05th October 2026

World Mental Health Day is on 10th October. It provides an annual opportunity to raise awareness of mental health, encourage open conversations, and remind people that support is available. Healthcare professionals face increasing demands every day, making it more important than ever to prioritise mental health and wellbeing. How to Promote Wellbeing is a valuable resource created to help healthcare staff protect and improve both their own wellbeing and that of their patients.

The book provides practical, evidence-based guidance on managing the challenges commonly experienced in healthcare settings. Topics include:

recognising and preventing burnout,

• managing stress,
• coping with workplace pressures, and
• identifying how fatigue and poor wellbeing can affect decision-making and patient care.

Written with busy healthcare professionals in mind, the book features concise and accessible chapters covering key areas such as building resilience, practising mindfulness, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, and navigating organisational pressures. Throughout, readers will find practical tools and strategies that can be applied in everyday practice to support personal wellbeing and enhance the quality of care they provide.
