What does resilience in healthcare mean for elderly care leaders and caregivers? In the first episode of Supporting Resilience in Healthcare, the Support4Resilience podcast explores workforce shortages, burnout, leadership and the practical changes needed to strengthen mental wellbeing in elderly care.
