"In 'How to Promote Wellbeing', Dr Rachel Thomas has produced a timely resource designed to help all healthcare practitioners promote and protect their own wellbeing and mental health. From her own clinical medical background of neuroscience and the psychology of mental health, she provides practical strategies and guidance: by providing care to another human being, she explores how this can affect the carer ... This mental health first aid tool should be in your department's library and in the hands of those with an educational or leader's role, caring for staff welfare and your wellbeing." - Journal of Perioperative Practice
