Can sport psychology improve clinical performance?

Earlier in 2023 we focused on speaking up for respect and wellbeing. We want to revisit that topic to give you a chance to reflect – but at the same time introduce you to someone new. Dr Katie Grant speaks with Professor John Sandars about his latest research that looks to utilize sport psychology approaches and thinking to improve the performance of healthcare workers.
