WB Wellbeing
ABOUT US
Wylam Billington (WB) Wellbeing is a collaborative project created by Dr Jaimee Wylam and Dr Martin Billington.
We began working together when we discovered a shared passion to improve the wellbeing of health care workers in 2017.
From our base in South Yorkshire, we deliver and facilitate virtual and in person education for doctors, advanced clinical practitioners, medical students, physician associate students and a variety of health professionals.
WHAT WE DO
Using interactive workshops both online and in person, we offer a safe space to explore wellbeing. Those attending workshops have space and time to hear about our experiences, and to share their own.
A variety of exercises are used to provide opportunities to reflect, offer top tips and explore practical skills for wellbeing.
Participant feedback regularly highlights the value of hearing personal stories and these are used as the background to a rich learning experience exploring the workplace, self care and wellbeing.
SERVICES
We offer a range of online and in-person services including:
