What you’ll learn

The Pressure to be Perfect; managing high standards without burning out

Most people would describe you as a perfectionist. You’re not so sure.


You ARE the one who goes the extra mile. Every time.The one who notices what others miss. The one who gives absolutely everything to each patient.


You DO care deeply about doing things properly. And you DO have high standards. The kind that makes you good at your job. Proud to be part of the profession.


And yet, that comes with a cost.


You’re often the one working hardest.

Picking things up when others don’t.

Redoing things because it’s quicker, or safer, than explaining them.

Feeling a tight knot when something isn’t done the way you would have done it.


You probably wouldn’t describe yourself as a perfectionist, because you're not perfect. There’s always more you’d like to be doing. 


You’d say you just care.That you have standards.That someone has to hold things together.


Even if that’s exhausting. 


If any of that feels familiar, and the pressure to hold it all feels like a lot, this CPD day was created for you.


By the end of the day, you'll be the person that knows how to have how to have high standards without the crushing pressure of perfectionism - which makes the job so much more enjoyable and sustainable.
