BBASS is delighted that our Sensei mentors and coaches are in conversation with our newly appointed Sensei. The panel will be exploring the rigours of surgical training and ask how people are coping. The panel will explore the concepts of resilience and mental performance – to be sharp you must stay sharp, not only physically but mentally and emotionally. The panel will also introduce how to use emotional agility for situational awareness and self-regulation. We are keen to explore the use of reflective practice and how it can help maintain or improve your professional performance. We want to hear from the international community and share ideas.
