The programme provides a comprehensive set of tools and support for nurses providing care in challenging and overcrowded environments when resources are stretched and space is limited. 

It has been developed to provide support through:

• Listening to the experiences of nursing staff who are delivering care in inappropriate environments such as corridors and waiting areas.
• Providing support by offering techniques to maintain compassion and ensure dignity in overcrowded places.
• Offering strategies for self-kindness and emotional reflection and signposts to seeking help.
• Advice on reporting and raising concerns.
• Hope that we stand united in a commitment to end ‘Corridor Care’.  

Each webinar will focus on a specific challenge of working under pressure. We will explore strategies and best practices for providing care in challenging settings, such as hospital corridors, waiting areas and makeshift spaces.

• Empathy and understanding: Why this is important.
• The challenges of corridor care: How environmental factors affect patient experience and outcomes (e.g. comprised private and dignity, increased anxiety, delayed treatment).
• Workforce perspectives: How nursing staff are managing care in corridors and their emotional response to these situations.

• Working in high-pressure environments: Understanding the emotional, mental and physical toll of delivering corridor care.
• Recognising stress and seeking support: Signs of stress, compassion, fatigue and burnout and when to reach out for help.
• Methods to decompress during and after shifts in high-stress environments.
• Setting boundaries, asking for support from colleagues and celebrating small victories.
• Emotional reflection: How to be kind to yourself and others when conditions are difficult.
• Creating hope: how does this end?
