GWAAC Crew Wellbeing Day 25 at The Wave Bristol

Описание: In September 2025 with help from the Blue Light Card Foundation we held a crew wellbeing day, focussing on rest, connection and personal wellbeing at The Wave Bristol. The aim was to allow some time away from the clinical environment to sit together to talk about self care, burnout and mental and physical health within high performing teams.

The day consisted of a medical training demonstration by The Wave coaches and coastguards, followed by a number of talks from industry professionals, some food and the opportunity to use The Wave's outdoor surfing lagoon.

This video interviews some of the GWAAC clinicians to talk about why a day like this is important and what they will take from the talks.

Great Western Air Ambulance Charity (GWAAC) brings hospital level skills and equipment to people with life-threatening and life-changing injuries and illnesses. The severity of these cases together with the high pressure decision making involved with treating them puts great pressure on our clinicians. The hope is that events such as this one will help our crew continue to be ready to help the people of our communities.
