Replace bottom caption with "PWPs working for band 4/5 salaries". The PWP role is so valuable to the NHS Talking Therapies system, but we're seeing higher and higher rates of burnout and attrition. More needs to be done across the board to support this clinician group, both internally (eg. quality restorative supervision and the ability to specialise in the role) and externally (eg. our work (that I'm super proud of!) at Limbic around how our AI products can improve clinician wellbeing).

Yes on reduced volume. Also need to stick to giving PWPs appropriate mild to moderate that the training prepares them for. I personally do not agree with drift into 2.5 or holding patients 'until they get real treatment '. It's demeaning every thing we do.

Reduce the crazy pace of work, or - if it's to stay - select patients better. There's little in this world as demoralising as full awareness that what one does stands no chance to make a difference to someone, because someone's difficulty is of a different nature or severity and their goals don't match those of an intervention plus we only have very little time to deliver it. Also, get PWPs involved in delivering more preventive work. Psychoeducation is hardly more effective than when it's delivered as a prevention rather than an intervention.
Thanks for highlighting this - I am a PWP and have struggled with burnout and many of my colleagues have. We have seen multiple PWP leave the profession due to this reason and that then add additional pressure onto us remaining PWPs.

1moGiving them less volume would be a huge starting point to reducing this. I have had so many PWPs coming to me looking for hope and a way out from this load. There is only so much resilience and individual wellbeing they can do whilst being in a system that needs to role model wellbeing with rest, care and breaks.
