This is probably a unique opportunity: a free online session of advice for working-class people in higher education about how to get leadership jobs, and hopefully will cover why it's important, too.
Well done Damien!

‘By addressing mental health needs up-front, we have an opportunity to cultivate a more engaged, focused, and resilient workforce’.

Good article on Gen Z in the workplace and more balanced than the title suggests. There are bosses critical of a lack of resilience, neediness and

The greatest leadership attribute is dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction with structural inequalities and inequities, with cultures that exclude, with status quos that privilege, with bureaucracy that stifles innovation, with processes that impede creativity, with behaviours that

Prof Damien Page Our #Midwifery programmes led by Carla Jayne Avery have a golden thread of self care which talks to the heart of this. Every part of the programme has been considered to support students to be able to learn whilst also caring and supporting themselves and their others #BNUProud

When I did my first degree, I worked loading HGVs in the evening to support myself. During breaks, I read the novels and poetry to be discussed in seminars, speed reading to get through them before the next lorry pulled in. In class, I dosed up on ibruprofen for the muscle aches.
