Dr Dawn Branley-Bell (@TheCyberPsyche) from @NorthumbriaUni shares the impact she hopes her Foundation-funded project, RHED-C, will have on remote healthcare for #EatingDisorders and those relying on these services in the future. 🖥️💫 @NorthumbriaPsy @PaCTLab

💥 Healthcare professionals often face acute challenging events when providing critical emergency care, and biological mechanisms are activated to facilitate the liberation and mobilisation of energy resources to deal with threats. However, repeated activation of those physiological responses often leads to burnout, as there are minimal opportunities for recovery. 👨‍⚕️ With the support of the #BIALFoundation, researchers from @NorthumbriaUni and James Cook NHS Hospital (@SouthTees, UK), coordinated by Mark Wetherell (@DrMinkster), assessed the psychobiological functioning of 27 Pre-Hospital Emergency Medical doctors and paramedics over two weeks. 🔎 Learn more in the latest #ScienceStory 👉 bit.ly/SS_EmergencyCa… #BIALFoundation30Years #ScientificResearch #Stress #Burnout
