Study to understand how healthcare organisations affect employees and contribute to burnout and wellbeing

February 13, 2023

In partnership with Teesside University and Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust, NHS-based Clinical Psychologist Jared Watson is conducting doctoral research to understand the fundamental ways that healthcare organisations cause burnout and promote wellbeing in staff. The study will also develop a ground-breaking questionnaire called the Emotional Climate in Organisations Scale which is based on the Three Circles Model from Compassion Focussed Therapy. This questionnaire will lead to a better understanding of the causes and treatment of burnout in healthcare staff, the conditions that promote wellbeing at work, as well as the psychological needs of staff.

Please consider completing this 10-minute survey. The survey is open to anyone who works in a healthcare setting regardless of your role. It is completely anonymous.

The results of the study will be shared with all participating Trusts and via twitter in summarised form (twitter handle @jaredwats). The survey will remain open until May. If you have any questions, please email jared.watson@nhs.net.
