Keynote talk by Dr Rachel Morris In this keynote talk, we look at what is in our control and what isn’t, and discuss why our limits as a human being can actually help us to set boundaries.

Workshop

Dr Rachel Morris With overwhelming workloads, the pressure on our services is increasing - and our tendency is to keep trying to cram yet more into an already overscheduled day. But there's a limit to how much we can absorb before standards suffer, and our own wellbeing begins to slide. The only answer is to prioritise what's really important. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how to use the Prioritisation Grid to prioritise your workload, focus on what’s important and avoid getting stuck in the urgency trap.
