A group of 80 nurses will take part in a year-long study aimed at building resilience and helping them cope in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The nurses – all members of the West Yorkshire Critical Care Network, which spans six NHS trusts – will take part in workshops where they learn practical, cognitive behavioural strategies, and have follow-up coaching calls with a psychological therapist.

The study, which looks at how to help nurses in highly stressful environments, such as critical care, and cope with traumatic situations, is being conducted by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Led by the trust’s assistant chief nurse for quality and safety research Angela Grange, it will evaluate a tailored coaching intervention called RE-BOOT, or REcovery-BOOsting Training.
