The busy and often unpredictable nature of clinical practice can really challenge us as health professionals. So, how do we stay on top of all our work? How do we avoid constant battles with an incredibly scarce resource – time?

How can we stay on time in clinical practice, and should we really worry about it too much, or is that only going to add to our cognitive load and stress? Is it really all that important, and what are the repercussions if we don’t run on time?

To find out the answers to these questions and more, join Dr Annalene Weston and Dr Simon Parson in this RiskBites podcast titled ‘Talking about time management’.
