Sustainability is an ethical issue

A practice needs to work for the practitioner as well as the people it serves. Small decisions around boundaries, diary shape and reflective support make an important difference.

Three useful questions

  • Where does your week feel most compressed?
  • Which boundaries need to be clearer?
  • What support keeps you thoughtful?

Reviewing these questions regularly can turn wellbeing from an aspiration into part of practice design.
