SafeSpace.

Mariam Pereira

SafeSpace is a new grounding and respite podcast aimed at Healthcare Professionals focused on staff wellbeing in the healthcare work environment, a grossly overlooked issue and yet, I would argue, the cornerstone of the healthcare system which is why it is crumbling. There are 3 components to the podcast:   - Candid interviews with healthcare leaders, and a wide variety of passionate healthcare professionals about their own experiences and struggles with their wellbeing as they have progressed through their careers   - Reflective discussions with a clinical psychologist, my co-host, regarding key topics that have arisen such as coping with bullying, depression, burnout, grief, menopause etc   - Guided meditations specific to the healthcare worker getting ready for the day ahead, a pause during, and winding down and acceptance following the working day.   This podcast is not a panacea or substitute for a formal management plan, but a motivating, and catharsis tool to help during a stressful day.

    Personal vs. Positional Power: Lessons in Compassionate Leadership

    The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Mariam is joined by Dr Emma Jane Hosking, a consultant anaesthetist and senior healthcare leader with over 30 years of NHS experience. They delve into Dr Hosking’s transition from clinical work in the operating theatre to executive leadership, exploring the vital importance of psychological safety, flat hierarchies, and compassionate leadership. Dr Hosking shares practical strategies for fostering a supportive environment, such as the Three Good Things exercise, and discusses the challenges of navigating complex crises and board-level pressures.  KEY TAKEAWAYS A leadership job title may give you a seat at the table, but true change is driven by personal power, building genuine relationships and utilising your ability to influence rather than relying on control and command. True psychological safety exists when staff feel empowered to speak up, challenge the status quo, and raise concerns without fear of retribution or being ignored. A clear warning sign of a psychologically unsafe environment is when difficult face-to-face conversations are avoided in meetings, only to be followed up by aggressive or combative emails afterwards. Simple practices, like starting meetings by asking team members to share "Three Good Things," can break down hierarchical barriers, build human connections, and lift the mood, especially in remote or hybrid working environments. Leaders and clinicians often wear different "masks" depending on the situation. Deliberately taking off that mask to show vulnerability and share personal joys or sorrows helps build the deepest, most resilient teams. BEST MOMENTS "I quickly learned that it's much more important to have that personal power. To build the relationships and perhaps what comes with the job titles and the opportunity that they give you is the opportunity to influence, rather than control." "Psychological safety is all about being able to speak up without fear of what might happen in response to you doing that." "Well, if you're not prepared to say it, I'm going to ignore it... you need to get to a situation where those conversations are happening rather than people doing the keyboard warrior thing." "The best teams I've worked in, all the way through, are the teams where the individuals genuinely care about each other in that whole sense." "We're all good mask wearers... when we go into a meeting or we're going to see family or a certain group of friends, we're different and we bring what we perceive to be the best mask for that group to that table." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing. She has experience on the Schwartz Round Steering group and as a facilitator for her health board, and she created and led the Balint Group Programme for Foundation Doctors in her hospital. These are regular spaces for healthcare professionals to speak about real issues that affect their well-being amongst colleagues to improve mutual support and camaraderie in the workplace. She also holds qualifications in Life Coaching and healthcare leadership and management.

    Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science with Radharani Patel

    The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Mariam sits down with Radharani Patel, an advanced clinical pharmacist, yoga teacher, and Ayurvedic consultant. Radha shares her fascinating journey of integrating seemingly disparate fields, pharmacy, fitness, and ancient wisdom, into a unified approach to health and well-being. They explore the importance of holistic care, especially for geriatric patients, the power of community and connection, and practical Ayurvedic principles that can transform your daily routine. Radha's mission is to empower individuals to take control of their health through sustainable and grounded practices, moving beyond a purely medicinal approach to a more integrative model of care. KEY TAKEAWAYS True health involves looking at the whole person, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, and social interactions, not just treating symptoms with medication. Social prescribing and community engagement can be as effective as medical interventions in improving patient outcomes and mental wellbeing. Shifting the narrative from ‘managed decline’ to empowerment allows patients, especially the elderly, to regain control and vitality. Simple practices like mindful eating and living in tune with the seasons can have a profound impact on health and digestion. Rest is not a luxury but a necessity for physical and mental consolidation and growth. BEST MOMENTS "I want to find ways of allowing people not to feel intimidated by the science when they are very into the spiritual and the ethereal, and then allowing the scientist to also have an opportunity to look at ways they can bring some of the more spiritual practices with a strong evidence base into their life." "The solution is not going to be a single pill. The solution is also going to be multi-factorial. And what you're describing is health as empowerment rather than health as a dependency on a pill." "We can often listen to symptoms and hear what's wrong and try and almost deal with the voice that's crying out from our body by trying to quieten it. And what I really wanted to understand was why was that voice crying out in the first place." "A strong digestion is the core to good health." "Rest is not the time between the worthwhile moments; it's probably some of the most worthwhile moments."

    The Complexities of Change: A Deep Dive with Dr. Johann Malawana

    The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this insightful episode, Mariam is joined by the multifaceted Dr. Johann Malawana, a doctor, advocate, and entrepreneur. Dr. Malawana shares his remarkable journey from his early days as an obstetrician to becoming a leading voice for junior doctors at the BMA, where he secured significant improvements in their working conditions.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Dr. Malawana's work with the BMA highlights the importance of organized advocacy in improving workplace conditions for healthcare professionals. Quality medical education and leadership training are essential building blocks for a sustainable and happy healthcare workforce. Implementing change in healthcare involves managing a "myriad of complexity," from political interests to intricate public sector contracts. Effective healthcare leadership requires the ability to remain focused on goals despite personal attacks and the inevitability of not being able to please everyone. Dr. Malawana's career shift was driven by a passion to solve large-scale problems rather than a desire to leave clinical practice. BEST MOMENTS "Education and training are therefore the kind of building block... it gives you the ability to find the right people, put them in the right roles, make sure they're happy." "The BMA is... one of the most political organizations going." "The problem isn't often the solutions. The problem is the implementation... how to make the system own the solution." "If you want universal love... these are not the jobs for you." "I don't necessarily regret anything... you make the decisions you thought were important with the information you had available to you at the time."

    The Power of Visibility: Building a Culture of Transparency in Healthcare with Dr. Manjit Obhrai

    The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode of SafeSpace., Mariam is joined by Dr. Manjit Obhrai, a former consultant obstetrician and gynecologist who became an NHS executive leader. They discuss leadership in times of crisis, building trust through transparency and visibility, and the importance of accountability and honesty in healthcare. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dr. Obhrai emphasises that leaders must be present and approachable, actively engaging with staff at all levels to foster a sense of connection and shared purpose. Open communication, even when uncomfortable, is crucial for addressing failures and building a culture of accountability. Every member of the healthcare team, from consultants to support workers, plays a vital role in patient safety and organisational success. Effective leaders must be able to adjust their style to meet the specific needs of their team and the challenges they face. When things go wrong, it's important to understand the underlying causes and barriers to change, rather than simply assigning blame. BEST MOMENTS "Everybody's important in this organisation. It's building those little bridges that makes a difference." "Leadership, there is no one style of leadership that works. I think you've got to be adaptive to what the circumstances are." "Be curious rather than judgmental. So if people aren't implementing something, it's a question of finding out what is it that stops them." "We shouldn't be hiding behind things that we're struggling with." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing.

Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Dr. Mariam Pereira sits down with Dr. Maia Hayes, a postnatal health coach and GMC-registered doctor, to pull back the curtain on the often-neglected world of postnatal care. Dr. Maia shares her deeply personal experience navigating a traumatic birth and undiagnosed postnatal depression, illustrating the ‘invisible gaps’ that even medical professionals fall through. The conversation explores the limitations of the standard six-week check, the toxic ‘bounce back’ culture, and the systemic shifts needed, from better GP screening tools like the ‘Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale’ to workplace flexibility, to truly support new mothers. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even doctors can struggle to be heard by the healthcare system; Dr. Maia’s symptoms were repeatedly dismissed as ‘normal’ despite her clinical background. Current postnatal checks often focus almost exclusively on the baby’s health or contraception, frequently neglecting the mother’s mental health and physical recovery (e.g., pelvic floor issues). Up to 50% of postnatal depression cases are missed by GPs due to time constraints, stigma, and the inconsistent use of validated tools like the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Society places immense pressure on mothers to return to their pre-pregnancy bodies and productivity levels, ignoring the fact that physical and hormonal recovery is a non-linear process that requires significant time and support. Roughly 19% of women leave the workforce within three years of having a child, often due to a lack of flexibility and support, highlighting the need for employers to view postnatal care as a professional necessity. BEST MOMENTS "It is about the system telling you you're failing, when in fact, it's failing you." "There is a reason why sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture, because it messes with your neurochemistry and how you feel about everything." "There is a really good substitute for breast milk; there is no substitute for a mom's mental health." "Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's not hard." "We shouldn't be relegated to a jeans size or a number on a scale after our bodies have done something miraculous."

    Rebellious Health - Dr. Emma Presern’s Mission to Heal the Healers

    The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Dr. Emma Presern, a GP and founder of Rebellious Health, shares her profound journey through burnout and recovery. After training in anatomical science and neuroscience and practicing medicine across the UK and Australia, Emma faced a significant mental health crisis during her specialist training. This turning point led her to take a year-long sabbatical, during which she embarked on a solo 600-kilometer hike across the Slovenian mountains. Emma discusses the systemic pressures of the healthcare system, the importance of holistic health, and the transformative power of nature, breathwork, and self-care. Out of her experiences, Rebellious Health was born, a movement aimed at challenging systemic pressures and helping clinicians reconnect with themselves and nature. KEY TAKEAWAYS Emma’s burnout started insidiously with anxiety, insomnia, and panic attacks, which she initially struggled to acknowledge due to the perceived immunity of healthcare professionals to mental health struggles. The current healthcare system often treats clinicians like machines, prioritising productivity over humanity and failing to provide adequate support for their well-being. Taking an extended break for self-care and reflection can be life-changing, allowing for deep rest and the discovery of new wellness tools like breathwork and nature connection. True wellness involves an interconnectedness between mind, body, soul, nature, and spirit, moving beyond just treating symptoms. Building supportive communities and advocating for systemic change is essential to combat the isolation many healthcare workers feel and to create a more sustainable healthcare system. BEST MOMENTS "I really didn't want to admit it to myself or to anybody else. I thought I was totally immune to mental health struggles." "We forget as healthcare professionals, as doctors, that we're human first. It's not even just what we want, it's what the system wants of us as well." "I'm so much more interested in people's gaps on their CVs now than their CV itself because those gaps actually tell you a lot about who that person is becoming." "Self-care is so necessary, and it often is really quite messy and very uncomfortable to go through. It's not just massages and bubble baths." "I'm a big advocate for slow medicine. These 10-15 minute consultations are harmful both to the patient and the doctor." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing.

    Beyond ‘Challenging Behaviour’: Empathy and De-escalation in Healthcare

Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info Mariam interviews Andy Baker, Managing Director of Able Training Support Ltd, as they explore the psychology of workplace violence and aggression within healthcare settings. Drawing from his personal journey, from being mugged at knifepoint to becoming a leading expert in conflict management, Andy challenges the traditional ‘punishment and reward’ models of behaviourism. He also introduces his TARGET framework, a six-stage model that shifts the focus from judging ‘challenging behaviour’ to understanding the unmet needs and stressors behind it.  KEY TAKEAWAYS De-escalation is most effective when you first establish a human connection. Addressing a patient's emotional state before enforcing rules (like ‘you can't leave’) prevents escalation. Shifting from the term ‘challenging behaviour’ to ‘behaviours that challenge’ shifts the focus from labelling the person to acknowledging how the observer perceives the action based on their own boundaries and stress levels. All behaviour serves a function, often acting as a strategy to meet an unmet need or cope with stress. Understanding the why (the unmet need) is more productive than punishing the ‘what’. Healthcare workers cannot effectively care for others if they are depleted. Organisations must move beyond ‘tick-box’ trauma training to fostering a culture that prioritises staff well-being and emotional regulation. Approaching conflict with curiosity rather than judgment allows staff to move from an emotional survival mode to a rational problem-solving mode, leading to better outcomes for both staff and patients. BEST MOMENTS "I can never teach you anything that's going to force you to change somebody else's behaviour. Whose behaviour can you change? Your own. And by changing your own, you force other people to interact differently with you." "We're all in our own boat, but we're all in the same storm or in the same sea, and it's how we then turn our sails or manage our oars to cope in that situation." "If a person doesn't know how to read, we teach. If they don't know how to write, we teach. But when they don't know how to behave, our instinct is to punish rather than teach." "You don't need to accept bad behaviour, but we should always accept thoughts and feelings." "Happy people don't kick off. So something must be wrong for them to be acting that way." HOST BIO Mariam is a GP trainee in Wales passionate about improving our healthcare colleagues' wellbeing. She has experience on the Schwartz Round Steering group and as a facilitator for her health board, and she created and led the Balint Group Programme for Foundation Doctors in her hospital.

    From Managing to Coaching: Transforming Healthcare Culture with Jo Wright

    The discount code SAFESPACE20 gives 20% off all 12-month access on Pastest’s post-graduate exam platforms https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=46017&awinaffid=2708016&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pastest.com%2F If you like the episode, please follow on Instagram @safespace.hcp and TikTok @safespacer0 for more content and share. Extended guided meditations are coming soon on my Substack and website www.saferspace.info In this episode, Mariam is joined by Jo Wright, co-founder of Coaching Culture Limited and author of the provocatively titled book, No More S**t Managers. Jo shares her journey from a 30-year career in corporate leadership to becoming a professional coach dedicated to cultural transformation. They explore the vital shift from traditional, transactional management to a transformational coaching style, a change Jo argues is essential for the high-pressure world of healthcare. Jo breaks down her 7-step framework for building a coaching culture, discussing how empathy, curiosity, and psychological safety can combat burnout, improve staff retention, and ultimately lead to better patient care. KEY TAKEAWAY Traditional management is often ‘transactional’ and task-focused. In contrast, a coaching approach is ‘transformational’, focusing on the human being behind the task to build trust and resilience. Jo outlines a process for cultural change: Visualise, Strategise, Engage, Grow, Thrive, Perform, and Sustain. While healthcare is time-pressured, investing small moments in coaching conversations empowers staff, increases efficiency, and prevents long-term burnout. You don’t need to be a professional coach to use coaching skills. Like cooking, everyone should have basic skills to support their peers and teams, even if they aren't ‘chefs’. A positive coaching conversation doesn't just stay at work; it has a ripple effect that improves a person's life at home with their partners and children. BEST MOMENTS "You can't just tell people to change, people don't respond like that. There is a real psychology behind changing behaviors." "Coaching is like cooking. Everybody should be able to cook, but you don't all have to be a professional chef." "This is about slowing down to speed up. Take a breath to be more effective, more efficient, and more productive." "Work should be a positive experience. We spend so much time at work, it's a huge chunk of our life." "One conversation can make such a difference to somebody's work day, and life, and partner, and children."
