Take home messages

We are all limited resources and we need to 'manage' how we allocate ourselves.
Key foundations of resilience are sleep, exercise, diet, social contact: sleep 7-9 hrs per 24 hour period diet exercise - 30 min per day to prevent mental and physical illness, important social connections - in and outside of family.
Pride in who we are as a group (healthcare teams) is important.
Team cohesion includes: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, results.
