Dealing with Sleep Deprivation and Fatigue - A Practical Guide
Delivery of patient care in the 21st century NHS requires a 24 hour workforce and this practical workshop is designed to help you recognise and understand the impact of variable shift work on your own personal wellbeing and your ability to deliver patient care. The workshop will also offer practical tips on how you can minimise the risks of variable shift work and fatigue and improve your core sleep. Facilitated by Professor Jason Ellis, Director of the Northumbria Sleep Research Laboratory in the United Kingdom. He is a qualified Somnologist - Expert in Behavioural Sleep Medicine from European Sleep Research Society and a Practicing Health Psychologist under the HCPC.
He splits his time between his basic research interests: the pathophysiology of sleep disorders (Insomnia, Restless Legs Syndrome, and Circadian Rhythm Disorders), the natural history of Insomnia, and his applied work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Within the latter framework he examines the impact of novel adjunct therapies, the influence of social factors on adherence, and the effective delivery of CBT-I in complex cases and environments. He has worked within the National Health Service in the United Kingdom, delivering CBT-I to individuals with a range of physical and psychological conditions and serves on the editorial boards of Behavioral Sleep Medicine and Sleep Health. He has consulted for various industries and third-sector organisations and provided national guidelines to the British and Scottish governments on the identification and management of sleep problems.
He is a serious advocate of public engagement and professional education with regard to behavioral sleep medicine and regularly trains CBT-I to clinicians and primary care physicians in the United Kingdom.
