    Vicarious trauma: Part 4 – reflective practice

    Working to support the wellbeing of others can be immensely rewarding, and a real motivator for why we work in the health sector. But over time, exposure to the suffering of others - particularly those in mental distress and at the risk of suicide - can impact our own wellbeing and how we feel, including experiencing vicarious trauma. In 2025, NHS Sussex developed training that looks at the different ways we can keep ourselves and our colleagues safe. The training provides an overview of vicarious trauma and is made up of three complimentary sections, looking at different aspects of personal resilience, workplace wellbeing and reflective practice. In this podcast, Lucy Tucknott and Molly Booth discuss the impact of reflective practice to reduce the harms of vicarious trauma and break down different models of reflective practice, as well as some barriers that may occur. They explore how developing a deep sense of awareness can help us care for ourselves, whilst we're also caring for others.

    Vicarious trauma: Part 1 – What is vicarious trauma?

    Working to support the wellbeing of others can be immensely rewarding, and a real motivator for why we work in the health sector. But over time, exposure to the suffering of others - particularly those in mental distress and at the risk of suicide - can impact our own wellbeing and how we feel, including experiencing vicarious trauma. In 2025, NHS Sussex developed training that looks at the different ways we can keep ourselves and our colleagues safe. The training provides an overview of vicarious trauma and is made up of three complimentary sections, looking at different aspects of personal resilience, workplace wellbeing and reflective practice. In the first of these podcasts, Dr Brian Solts looks at at various definitions of vicarious trauma and identifies the key groups that may be at risk. He reviews the support needs of staff in roles than might blend into the background of healthcare provision, the 'invisible staff groups', and how vicarious trauma has the potential to bear its mark over time - in terms of emotional, psychological and physiological impacts.

    Gambling disorder and gambling-related harms

    Gambling disorder is a behavioural addiction that affects a large number of individuals, yet often goes unrecognised. In this podcast, Dr Myooran Canagaratnam is joined by two of the UK’s leading experts, Prof Henrietta Bowden-Jones and Prof Sam Chamberlain, to explore gambling and its profound clinical, social and psychiatric implications. Drawing on frontline experience, the discussion looks at how gambling disorder presents, those most at risk, and why comorbidity with depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other conditions makes it highly relevant to psychiatric practice. This podcast examines the impact of digital gambling, dopamine-modulating medications, and the wide-ranging spectrum of gambling-related harms. The podcast also offers an overview of evidence-based treatment and the rapidly expanding research which is now underpinned by NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence] guidance and the gambling levy.
