This free webinar will help participants to best adapt to the media that they will be using, and help them understand how to set expectations, engage different types of learners and audiences, and know what to think about when preparing, delivering, and following up with their learners and participants.

COVID-19 Students' and teachers wellbeing journey: struggling, embracing, empowering
Date: 16 April 2020
Time: 1000 hrs UK(GMT+1)
Presenters: Janusz Janczukowicz, Jo Bishop, Ewa Pawlowicz
During these unprecedented times, one thing is certain, as educators we have had to adapt! We are fully committed to delivering a high quality experience to our learners and it is highly likely that we will need to continue to deliver material remotely for the near future. During the webinar we will highlight good practices and lessons learned from national and international collaborations and how as medical leaders we can continue to support students, our peers and importantly ourselves and our families.
Both medical students and teachers are strongly influenced by the totally new reality caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Threat of the disease affecting themselves and their families, as well as the obligatory isolation often result in feelings of uncertainty and stress. For international students, being far from their homeland, culture and friends makes this experience even more difficult. During this webinar we will present students’ perceptions of their emotional wellbeing obtained from the ongoing project supporting them in expression of their feelings. We will also discuss coping strategies and give particular examples of supporting interventions.
During this webinar we do not want to forget the perspectives from resident doctors. Being in the frontline of fighting with the COVID-19 pandemic, they face probably the hardest challenge in their careers. Insufficient resources, wrenching triage choices and tiredness join uncertainty and isolation from family and friends. In the webinar, we will share the concerns of residents from different countries along with the strategies they apply to relieve stress and how they deal with the situation.
