Workshops

I have developed workshops, specifically tailored to the needs of those working in general practice motivated by the desire to help practices gain a greater understanding of emotional wellbeing at an individual, team and practice level. To equip doctors, nurses, managers, receptionists and administrators in dealing more effectively with the pressures of working in primary care.

Counselling

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling depending on your needs and preferences. My style of working is both relational and integrative. The relationship between counsellor and client, along with the flexibility that integrative working provides, are widely held to be two of the most important elements for a successful outcome.

How to deal more effectively with the pressures of working in primary care.

Welcome to Dr Michael Davey Wellbeing.

I run workshops on emotional wellbeing specifically tailored to the needs of General Practice.

“The urgent need to address the wellbeing of doctors and others working in healthcare has been highlighted in recent reports by the BMA, GMC and HEE (2018-19). My workshops address many of the concerns raised in these reports.”

“Research shows that people working in healthcare professions often disengage from their emotions in order to survive the traumatic nature of the work. However, this increases the likelihood of burnout (Gleichgerrcht & Decety 2013). My workshops give participants simple tools to safely reengage with their emotions with an emphasis on self-care and team support.

My passion for emotional wellbeing training stems from my own experience of depression and burnout as a GP in 2014. The workshops help people increase aware of their wellbeing with emphasis on self-care and team support. I work in a variety of healthcare organisations, with a particular expertise in the needs of General Practice and GP Trainees.

The HEE commission into the wellbeing of healthcare staff (Feb 2019), and the GMC report into the wellbeing of doctors (Nov 2019) both highlight the need for action to address the wellbeing needs of the NHS workforce. Healthcare workers have the highest rates of work-related stress and sickness compared to all other occupations (National workforce survey 2018).
