FIRST AID CONFIDENCE. This is not about how to learn CPR on zoom, it’s about deciding now that you are the kind of person who will step up and get involved in a medical emergency. Our guests are Pete Morris- Event Medic, and Ruth Robinson- A&E nurse and festival artist liaison chief. We’ll also cover large scale emergencies, what YOU can do to help when everyone else is losing their heads. Wednesday 15th September 6pm BST London
What’s it like out there now? Is the uncertainty still getting to you? Will we make it to Christmas?! Caught yourself moaning yet? Or maybe you’ve not had the call. Rosana Corbacho Music Industry Therapy Collective psychologist is our guest and she’ll be helping us make some sense of it 💜

The last of our 3 workshops to help get better equipped for our return to work. This one underpins everything – Matt Kansy, ex roadie turned wellness coach will be helping us make the sleep we do get count and look at how best to adjust to time zones and shift work.
