Year 1 Aim
GPSTs will have a better understanding of resilience and why this is important. They will have the opportunity to explore and develop their personal resilience, including the key attributes of self confidence, social support, adaptability and purpose, underpinned by greater self awareness (including but not limited to character strengths, needs and values).
Objectives
At the end of the year, GPSTs will
- Understand their personal challenges of being a GP trainee and GP
- Understand the nature and components of personal resilience and its significance in GPST
- Understand the concept of personal needs, know what their needs are, and develop strategies for addressing them
- Understand the concept of character strengths, have identified their strengths and established how to use their strengths more effectively
- Understand the concept of personal values, have identified their core values and have developed strategies for honouring them
- Understand the concept of organisational values

- Understand how all of the above impact upon our interactions and relationships at work
