In this two-part episode, we explore the widespread but often unrecognised issue of vicarious trauma in cancer care. We are joined by Dr Karen Campbell, President of the UK Oncology Nursing Society and Associate Professor in cancer nursing, and Lisa Nel, practising therapist, clinical supervisor and independent trainer. 

Karen and Lisa describe the reality of vicarious trauma, discuss its signs and symptoms, and highlight its impact on health and social care professionals. With a focus on self-care, they share practical strategies for recognising and addressing vicarious trauma within oneself and others. 

Join us to gain insights into this critical aspect of healthcare and learn how to take proactive steps to address and mitigate its overwhelming effects in cancer care teams. 

Content warning: This episode contains conversations about emotional trauma, which you may find upsetting or triggering. Listener discretion is advised.
